What it is

Dried minced onions are dehydrated pieces of onions. They are produced by washing, peeling, slicing, and then drying onions using hot air. This process concentrates their flavor and extends their shelf life.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use dried minced onions to add a concentrated onion flavor and texture to foods. They are a convenient alternative to fresh onions in dry mixes, seasonings, and processed foods where rehydration is not ideal.

Health notes

Dried minced onions are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a source of fiber and some vitamins and minerals. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated onion and its derivatives, but no specific health concerns are associated with typical dietary intake.

Allergen info

Dried minced onions are not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
