A McDonald’s employee shared a now-viral TikTok video detailing how McDonald’s uses two types of onions for menu items
‘At Macca’s, we have two types of onions. Large onions which have been cut up and dehydrated onions,’ the employee wrote.
The TikToker then explained the dehydrated onions are soaked overnight in a bucket of water with a lid on top before being drained the following day and put into onion shakers.
Daily Mail Australia understands the dehydrated onions are used in Big Macs, hamburgers and cheeseburgers, while all other McDonald’s items containing onions use locally-sourced produce.
Within four days the video went viral and received more than 271,000 views.
‘I way prefer diced onions over slivered,’ one person wrote, another added: ‘The diced onions taste so good though.’
‘I rehydrate onion flakes for my burgers at home because my kids say it ‘tastes just like McDonald’s!’ a third added.
