"McDonald's minced onions are not raw but dehydrated onions that have been rehydrated for a few hours in water, resulting in a sweet and mild flavor."
"Soaking dehydrated onions in water for a couple of hours creates a softer crunch that beautifully complements the umami richness of the meat patty."
"Dehydrated onions are widely available and can be prepared at home by soaking them in a 2 to 3 parts water to 1 part onion ratio."
McDonald's iconic burgers feature minced onions that are sweet and mild, differing from raw onions. These onions are actually dehydrated and rehydrated, which eliminates the harsh bite. This process results in a tender crunch that complements the burger's flavors. Dehydrated onions can be easily prepared at home by soaking them in water. They have a longer shelf life than raw onions, making them a convenient ingredient for enhancing various dishes.
