Dehydrated Onion and Garlic from India for UK Food Manufacturers
White onion, garlic and potato in the cut your recipe needs, with a laboratory report for the lot you receive.
Elysium Agri Corporation supplies dehydrated white onion, dehydrated garlic and potato flakes and powder to seasoning houses, food manufacturers and ingredient distributors in the United Kingdom. The goods are processed at specialist dehydration units in Gujarat and shipped from Mundra, Kandla or Pipavav. India shipped about US$13.4 million of dried vegetables to the UK in 2025.
You are buying an ingredient, not a commodity. It goes straight into a blend, a soup or a ready meal, so the specification sheet matters more than the product name. Send us yours: cut size, colour, moisture and microbiological limits. The lot is supervised at the unit and tested at an NABL-accredited laboratory, and you see the Certificate of Analysis before loading.

Yes.
