Fancy some onion snacks, but not sure whether to choose onion rings, onion crisps, onion biscuits or spicy Asian snacks? Packaging often makes big claims about flavour, but the practical differences usually come down to portion size, allergens, salt and storage. A few simple checks can help you avoid paying too much for a small bag or buying a snack that’s wrong for the occasion.
A 400-gram bag may seem better value than individual portions, but check how the snack is packaged, too. Individual bags are handy for school, work or when you’re out and about, while a large opened bag can go soft more quickly. Compare the price per 100 grams and think about how much you’ll actually use at a time.
The onion flavour may come from onion powder, flavourings, fried onions or a combination of these. Check the ingredients list if you’re looking for a more pronounced onion taste. For example, Modern China Tea Shop Crispy Rings lists a minimum onion content of 12.5%. Other products focus more on spices, soya sauce powder or flavourings.
Many crispy snacks contain flour, oil or potato starch. The nutritional information on the packaging gives you a fair basis for comparison. According to the product information, Oishi Onion Rings Original Flavour contain 493 kcal and 2.12 grams of salt per 100 grams. That makes them a savoury treat, but not necessarily a light snack. Also check for allergens such as gluten, soya, milk and celery.
For snacks to take with you, packs of 30 to 80 grams are practical. A 40-gram pack fits easily into a bag and means you don’t have to open a larger one. Packs of 125 to 400 grams are more convenient for a film night or sharing.
Individual packaging can also help you keep portions in check. Sanniu Evergreen Onion Flavour Biscuits come in a 400-gram pack with 20 individually wrapped portions. They’re a handy choice when several people want their own portion.
Most onion rings, crispy onion snacks and onion biscuits are ready to eat. Still, check the label. Fried onions, for example, are usually intended as a topping for noodles, rice, soup or salad, rather than just as a snack to eat by hand.
To keep snacks crunchy, store opened packs in a cool, dry place and seal them properly. Moisture makes them lose their crisp texture more quickly.

We’ve put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
Small packs of around 30 to 80 grams are practical when you’re out and about. Onion rings, onion crisps and savoury biscuits can be eaten straight from the pack. Make sure the bag reseals properly, or choose individual portions to help keep them crispy.
Store dry snacks in a cool, dry place, away from heat and moisture. Seal the pack tightly or use an airtight storage container. Fried onions lose their crunch more quickly when exposed to moisture in the air.
It depends on the product. Many onion snacks contain wheat or gluten. Other possible allergens include soya, milk, sesame and celery. Always read the ingredients list and allergen information on the packaging. If you’re unsure, it’s best not to eat the product.
