Comment on Some people prefer corn for some ungodly reason

The flavor compounds are oil soluble, but the oligosaccharides/fructans aren’t. Smaller pieces = more intense onion flavor.

Yeah, I’ve been experimenting with that as a solution. I can also mildly tolerate them if they’re cooked high hell or used as a powder. The more raw it is, the harder it is to digest.
If I can dial the fructans down, I do a lot better.

Fingers crossed for you finding a solution that lets you get all the onion you want! Intestinal issues are so miserable

This was such a delightful comment chain! Equal parts pleasant and informative.

Indeed! TIL! I am going to do the fine chop on the onions for cooking and see how much more flavor I can get out of them.
