Dehydrated Green Onion

Dehydrated green onion is dried green onion (also known as scallions). The drying process removes water, concentrating the flavor and extending shelf life. It is made by dehydrating fresh green onions, often through air drying or freeze-drying.

Dehydrated green onion is used to add a mild onion flavor and aroma to foods. It is commonly found in dry soup mixes, seasonings, spice blends, salad dressings, and savory snacks. It rehydrates when added to moist ingredients.

Dehydrated green onion is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a source of vitamins and minerals, though amounts are reduced by drying. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated onion and its extracts, generally finding them safe for consumption. No significant health concerns are associated with typical dietary intake.
