Onion Powder Is a Convenience Ingredient, and That's Fine
Not every ingredient in this seasoning has a deep story. Onion powder is dried, ground onion - it's here because a shelf-stable seasoning blend can't have fresh onion in it, and powder gives you the flavor without the prep or the shelf-life problem.

I'm not going to oversell this one nutritionally - at this serving size, it's mostly here for flavor. That's a perfectly good reason for an ingredient to exist in a spice blend.
Onion powder is only in the Paleo Taco Seasoning.
