The wildest thing about White Castle burgers is if you fart after eating them it smells just like the burger. I don’t understand the science behind it lol
So Onions have two ingredients that are harder for humans to digest; Sulfer and Fructans. With out getting TOO graphic, basically these two ingredients feed the bacteria in your gut and causes them to expel much more gas than usual, a lot more.
Now I know what you’re think “oh have onions on other burgers and never get that kind of gas like White castles” and your right! White castles aren’t burgers they’re sliders, as such most of the ingredients of the burger are cook on the same griddle with thin patties. Thinner patties means less fat and grease to coat the onions during digestion, and the patties are cooked ontop of the onions, so the reverse happens where all those fructans gets sweated out and absorbed by the meat and the cheese and buns which all go on the onion bed at some point while being steamed catching that sulfur.
TLDR: WC sliders are soaked with fructans and sulfur from being cooked on a bed of onions and that upsets your gut bacteria making your gassy and potentially softer stool.
Probably should have have said “aren’t just burgers, they’re sliders”. Point being that like a smash burger they are extra thin patties with less fat and grease. When cooked on a bed of onions that fat get replaced with the onion fructans. If you’re cooking a thicker 1/3 or 1/2 pound burger patty that does not happen and the grease from the burger coats the onions in your stomach

Never had White Castle, they don’t exist in my state. They seem like a “hate it or you love it” type chain though.
