Toppings: Freeze Dried Green Onion

Freeze-dried green onions are fresh green onions that have had most of their water removed through a process called freeze-drying. This process involves freezing the onions and then drying them in a vacuum, which preserves their flavor, color, and nutrients while making them shelf-stable.

Manufacturers add freeze-dried green onions to provide a concentrated onion flavor and a crunchy texture to foods. They are commonly used as a topping or ingredient in packaged soups, instant noodles, snacks, and spice blends.

Green onions are a natural food product and are generally recognized as safe by the FDA. They contain vitamins and minerals. No specific regulatory evaluations by bodies like JECFA or EFSA are typically required for freeze-dried vegetables used as flavoring or garnish.
