About WHITE ONION FRESH FRIED
White fresh fried onion is a thermally processed onion product prepared from freshly sliced white onions that are directly deep-fat fried without a flour-based coating system. The product is characterized by a light golden to pale-white appearance, soft-to-crispy texture (depending on fry level), and a pronounced sweet onion flavor. It is typically used as an immediate-consumption garnish or as a component in freshly prepared foods.
