About
This sharp-flavored dry onion variety takes up about twice the volume of water when chopped into a cup.
Chopped yellow onion has a typical bulk density of about 4.2 ounces per cup (0.5 g/mL). The spaces between the diced pieces make it much lighter by volume than solid root vegetables like carrots or whole bulbs. Compared to finely minced garlic, chopped onion pieces pack loosely and leave larger pockets of empty air in a container.
