What it is

Dried green onions, also known as dried scallions, are fresh green onions that have had most of their water content removed through drying. This process concentrates their flavor and extends their shelf life. They are a common ingredient in many cuisines, especially Asian cooking.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use dried green onions primarily to add a mild onion flavor and aroma to food products. They are often found in dry seasoning mixes, soups, sauces, snacks, and processed meats. Their dried form makes them convenient for use in products where fresh onions would add too much moisture.

Health notes

Dried green onions are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. They are a source of vitamins and minerals, though amounts are reduced by drying. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated dried herbs and spices. At typical consumption levels, they are not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Dried green onions are not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
