Diced onion

Diced onion is a widely-used food ingredient that comes from the onion plant, known for its strong flavour and aroma. Onions are root vegetables with layers packed tightly together, and when they are diced, they are cut into small, square-shaped pieces that are convenient for cooking. Diced onion is commonly added to a variety of dishes to enhance their taste and provide texture.

To make diced onion, fresh onions are peeled, washed, and then chopped into small, uniform pieces. These diced onions can be used immediately in cooking or preserved by freezing or drying them. Diced onion is available in fresh, frozen, and dried forms, making it easy to use in different recipes without the need for chopping and peeling raw onions each time.

Diced onion often appears on food labels as an ingredient because of its ability to add flavour, aroma, and texture to dishes. It is commonly used in soups, stews, curries, and casseroles to enhance the overall taste. Diced onion also provides a savoury note to meat dishes, salads, and omelettes. Its versatility in both raw and cooked forms makes it a valuable ingredient in many cuisines around the world.
