Onions, dried, raw

Dried raw onions are onions with most of their water removed, described here in their uncooked form. They mainly provide carbohydrate, with 70g per 100g, including 54g of sugars. They also supply 19g of fibre and 1.2g of fat per 100g.

Fibre helps support normal bowel function. Drying concentrates the nutrients and naturally occurring sugars, so dried onions contain more carbohydrate and sugar by weight than fresh onions. This is worth noting when considering carbohydrate, sugar or energy intake, although the amount consumed will depend on how much is used. Full nutritional figures are provided in the tables below.
