Dehydrated Green Onions

Dehydrated green onions are fresh green onions (the stalks and leaves of the *Allium fistulosum* plant) that have had most of their water content removed through drying. This process concentrates their flavor and extends their shelf life. They are often cut into small pieces before or after drying.

Manufacturers use dehydrated green onions to add a mild, savory onion flavor and aroma to foods without adding moisture. They are commonly found in dry mixes, seasonings, snacks, and convenience meals like instant soups, sauces, and spice blends.

Dehydrated green onions are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a source of vitamins and minerals, though amounts are reduced by dehydration. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated onion and its derivatives. At typical consumption levels, they are not associated with adverse health effects.
