What it is

Onion broth is a liquid made by simmering onions, often with water and seasonings. It captures the savory flavor and aroma of onions. It can be made from fresh, dried, or roasted onions.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use onion broth to add a rich, savory onion flavor to foods. It is commonly found in soups, sauces, gravies, and processed meats. It can also be used in salad dressings and marinades.

Health notes

Onion broth is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is not typically associated with adverse health effects when consumed in normal amounts as part of a diet. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated onion and its extracts, but specific evaluations for 'onion broth' as a distinct ingredient may vary.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Onions are not among the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
