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.
"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."
