Japanese:

タマネギの英名。オニオンには多くの栽培種があり、品種改良も行われて、いろいろな大きさ、形、香味のものがつくりだされている。収穫したオニオンの球根部は乾燥されて、スライスド(薄切り)、チョップド(あら切り)、ミンスド(みじん切り)、顆粒(かりゅう)、粉末などにされ、使用目的にあわせて使われている。この乾燥したオニオン顆粒や粉末100グラムに、水1.3リットルを加えると、なまのオニオン1キログラムに相当する香味が得られ、刺激性の甘い香り、辛味のほかに、ほろ苦味を有する。スープ、グレービーソース、ドレッシング、ケチャップ、サラダ、オムレツ、ひき肉料理、肉団子、チャーハン、ミートソース、シチュー、カレーなどの料理に広く使われる。もっとも手軽な、だれにでもやさしく利用できる香辛料といえる。
