​

Macca's fans were sent into a frenzy after an employee revealed the little-known secrets behind the onions used in the fast food giant's burgers.

The McDonald's employee, who posts under the username @maccas_myths, shared the two different types of onions that Macca's uses in its menu items — sliced onions and rehydrated onions.

He said: “At Macca’s, we have two types of onions.”

“Large onions which have been cut up and dehydrated onions.”

The Macca's employee then explained that they soak the dehydrated onions — which come in packets — in a large container of water overnight.

“[They are] drained and put into onion shakers,” he said.

The viral video, which amassed over 272,000 views, has sparked a debate among McDonald’s fans on which type of onion they prefer.

One Tik Tok user said: “I way prefer the diced onions over slivered.”

“Those dehydrated onions hit differently,” another chimed in.

A third wrote: “I rehydrate onion flakes for my burgers at home because my kids say it ‘tastes just like McDonald’s!’”

And wrote one more: “The diced onions taste so good though.”

It is understood that McDonald's uses its famous rehydrated onions in Cheeseburgers, Hamburgers and Big Macs across all restaurants globally, while the fresh, locally-sourced onions are used in all other food items in the fast food chain's menu, including the Quarter Pounder.

McDonald's Australia purchased 1.5 million kilograms of locally-sourced onions in 2020. The procurement is part of the fast food giant's commitment to supporting the Australian agriculture industry.

How about you? What's your preferred onion variety?

It has to be at least 20 years since my last McDonalds, so you can see how impressed I was. When the burgers etc look like the pictures on the menu then I'll try again.

No problem for me as I do not eat Maccas anymore. Do not trust what goes on their burgers.

I probably manage a Maccas burger every year or so... generally a quarter pounder and only when there is nothing else handy...
