Carbohydrate storage in onions primarily occurs in the form of fructans, which are polymerized fructose molecules. In contrast, potatoes store carbohydrates mainly as starch, a polysaccharide composed of glucose units. This difference reflects their distinct functions in the plant; onions use fructans for water retention and energy storage in their bulb, while potatoes rely on starch as a dense energy reserve for growth and sprouting.
