Verdict

High for this searched portion.

Why it matters

Onion is rich in fructans and can affect a whole dish even when the visible pieces look small.

Better swap

Use chives, scallion greens, asafoetida in tiny amounts, or garlic-infused oil for flavor without onion pieces.

Use this in a real meal

If this portion is a watch or high-risk item, make the rest of the plate simple: rice, potatoes, eggs, chicken, fish, firm tofu, carrots, cucumber, lettuce, tomato, or another food you already tolerate.
