Fresh Diced Onions

Fresh diced onions are pieces of the common onion bulb, a root vegetable known for its pungent flavor and aroma. Onions are grown worldwide and are typically harvested, cleaned, and then cut into small pieces for use in cooking and food manufacturing.

Manufacturers add diced onions to provide a savory flavor and aroma to a wide range of foods. They are commonly found in dips, salsas, soups, sauces, and prepared meals, adding a fresh, slightly sweet, and pungent taste.

Fresh diced onions are considered a whole food and are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as food. They contain various nutrients and antioxidants. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated onions as food. While generally safe, some individuals may experience digestive discomfort from raw onions due to their fructan content.
