Onions do not contain starch. Instead, onions contain carbohydrates which are present in the food in the form of sugars and fibers.

Potato is part of the roots and stores carbs as starch. Onion bulb is a modified stem that is actively growing.

Onions do not contain any starch. Starch is defined as a complex carbohydrate and onion does not meet this definition.
