This is hands-down my favorite thing from Thrive that I use on an almost daily basis in my cooking.
In fact, I love the freeze dried onions so much that they made the cut for my top 12 items I keep in my food storage.

These are a game changer! Sure, I store these as part of my long-term food storage, but I use these on the daily in my normal cooking!
I can’t tell you the last time I bought a fresh onion. Seriously.
These are pretty much a secret weapon in my book.
Simply magical. Here’s why:
You don’t even have to reconstitute them if your recipe has enough moisture (like a soup or sauce); just throw them in and go!
**They also have onion slices – I just prefer them to be chopped smaller most of the time, so I find myself reaching for these most often.
I recently had a conversation with a friend as she was chopping onions and crying all over her dinner. She is on the monthly delivery with Thrive Life, so I asked her why on earth she wasn’t using her Thrive Freeze Dried Onions! Her reply was something like this:
“Food storage is so expensive, I just stash it away for emergencies when it gets delivered. I don’t want to waste it.”
I agree with her…most of the time…
I don’t use most of the things I order on a regular basis.
However, there are a handful of things that actually aren’t expensive at all, and just make life SO MUCH EASIER that I DO use them on the daily.
And chopped onions are my NUMBER ONE for that.
A family can (the #10 can) has 24 small onions and costs $27.51.
That’s 1.14 per onion.
Is that even more expensive than the grocery store? I think it’s about the same!!!!
THIS IS A NO-BRAINER!
ALLOW ME TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
Not your food storage: your DAILY.LIFE.
GET THE ONIONS.
If you just can’t bring yourself to order them for yourself, ask for them for Christmas.
Better yet, order a case of them and GIVE them for Christmas. Keep one can, and give 5 cans away to your sisters/daughters/friends. They will be singing your praises forevermore. Not joking.
Also, just FYI, these keep REALLY well. So I would skip the pantry can and go for the family can. It’s a better value, and you WILL GO THROUGH them. Don’t worry about them going bad. If you use onions in your cooking, you’ll be just fine with the #10 can. Sometimes I get pantry cans of things that will get chewy and stale quickly. These are not one of those things. So you’re safe with the #10 cans.
