What it is
Caramelized onions are onions that have been slowly cooked over low heat for an extended period. This process breaks down the sugars in the onions, creating a deep brown color and a sweet, rich flavor.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use caramelized onions to add a sweet, savory flavor to a variety of foods. They are often found in frozen dinners, pizzas, appetizers, dips, and sauces, providing a complex flavor profile.
Health notes
Caramelized onions are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are primarily composed of carbohydrates and contain some vitamins and minerals. The World Health Organization (WHO) has not specifically evaluated caramelized onions for toxicity. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.
Allergen info
Onions are not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
