Topping: Dehydrated Green Onion

Dehydrated green onion is dried green onion (also known as scallion or spring onion) that has had most of its water removed. This process extends its shelf life and concentrates its flavor. It is typically dried using methods like air drying or freeze-drying.

Manufacturers use dehydrated green onion to add a mild onion flavor and a touch of color to foods without adding moisture. It is commonly found in dry soup mixes, instant noodles, spice blends, and snack foods.

Dehydrated green onion is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a source of vitamins and minerals, though amounts are reduced by dehydration. No specific health concerns are associated with its typical consumption in food products. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have not set specific limits for it as a food ingredient.
