Zinc Starch & Talc

Product Information

This is the powder that exhibitors use to dry out the skins of exhibition onions and shallots. After lifting the onions or shallots, remove the outer skins to leave one unblemished last skin. Wash in tepid water with a drop of washing up liquid and dry the bulbs with some soft tissue or towelling. Apply the powder on to the onion once with a soft pad or cotton wool outdoors or in an airy room. As a precautionary measure, do not breathe in the powder. The powder will uniformly dry the outer skin giving the onion a lovely light brown colour. Packed in re sealable polythene bags with each pouch weighing 70 grams, enough for a couple of seasons.
