What it is
Caramelized yellow onions are yellow onions that have been slowly cooked over low heat for an extended period. This process breaks down their natural sugars, creating a deep brown color and a sweet, rich flavor.

They are primarily composed of carbohydrates and offer some nutritional value from the original onion, including fiber and antioxidants. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated onions and their components, but specific evaluations for caramelized onions are not typically detailed separately. At typical consumption levels, they are considered safe and contribute to the overall flavor profile of foods.
