English term

micro, flavour and yield

English to German Science Agriculture
"The onion is of a unique variety, grown and dried in the US under strict control for micro, flavour , and yield."
This is part of a product description in a request for tariff suspension. I am wondering what "micro" means in this context.

Many thanks for all your comments. I have discussed it with the client and added a comment now.

In a similar context "Nowadays, the use of sodium in foods leads to extended shelf-life, restricted growth of undesired micro-organisms and enhances the taste and flavour of foods."

microorganisms/microbiology wäre ebenfalls möglich – ich würde eine A.d.Ü. anbringen

micronutrients? Schwer zu sagen, ohne weiteren Kontext.

Micro-irrigation, maybe?

Could it be these?

MicroGreen Onion is a blend of tiny onion leaves that offer a bold onion flavor.
Note from asker:
Thanks for the reference, Wendy. I think this is not was is meant, though, since the onions described are later dehydrated and ground and their colour is described as cream/beige/light brown which makes it unlikely that this powder is made from onion leaves.
