About Caramelised onions

Caramelised onions are a flavorful addition to many dishes, achieved by slowly cooking sliced onions until they turn golden-brown and develop a sweet, rich taste. Found in cuisines worldwide, they are especially popular in French and Mediterranean cooking, where their depth of flavor complements soups, sauces, and savory dishes. The natural sugars in onions are released and browned during the cooking process, creating their signature sweetness. Onions are a good source of antioxidants, including quercetin, which has anti-inflammatory properties, and they also provide vitamins C and B6, along with dietary fiber. However, the health profile of caramelised onions can vary depending on preparation; adding excessive oil, butter, or sugar increases calorie content and fat levels. When made with minimal added fats and sugars, they are a wholesome way to enhance flavor without relying on processed seasonings.
