Why You're Better Off Not Buying Onion Powder At Trader Joe's - Tasting Table
"Even spice blends like the Everything But The Bagel seasoning have garnered viral acclaim, and for good reason. However, while some spices are worth buying from Trader Joe's, you're better off skipping its onion powder. There's nothing wrong with the way Trader Joe's onion powder tastes, and it'll work well in bringing that aromatic onion flavor to recipes. But, at $1.99 a bottle, TJ's onion powder"
"Just to put it into perspective, it's a dollar more expensive than the 99-cent bottle of onion powder at Dollar Tree, a spice that's definitely worth the inexpensive price. We compared the price of Trader Joe's onion powder to the onion powder from Target's Good & Gather brand, Walmart's Great Value onion powder, and Amazon Happy Belly onion powder, and all of them were cheaper. Since onion powder isn't exactly a vital ingredient in most recipes, one bottle could last you up to a year."
Trader Joe's onion powder provides concentrated onion flavor but costs $1.99 per bottle, making it more expensive than many alternatives. Cheaper options include Dollar Tree's 99-cent bottle and brands from Target's Good & Gather, Walmart's Great Value, and Amazon Happy Belly. Onion powder is dehydrated onions ground into a smooth powder that adds onion savoriness without moisture or texture. One bottle can last up to a year for infrequent users, so paying a premium for a seldom-used spice is unnecessary. Higher-priced daily-use spices and unique items such as black garlic flakes, Portuguese flor de sal, and smoked paprika warrant purchase.
