Onions, baked

Onions are a vegetable, and the figures here describe them after baking. They mainly provide carbohydrate, including naturally occurring sugars, along with fibre and small amounts of protein. Per 100g, baked onions contain 9.9g of carbohydrate, of which 7.7g is sugars, and 2.7g of fibre. Their fat content is 0.2g per 100g.

Carbohydrate provides energy for the body, while fibre supports normal bowel function. The sugars in onions occur naturally within the vegetable rather than being added sugars. Baked onions contain little salt and only trace amounts of saturated fat, although added salt, butter or oil can change the nutritional content of a prepared dish.
