About Charred onions

Charred onions are a flavorful addition to a variety of dishes, originating from global culinary traditions but particularly celebrated in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and American cuisines. Their rich, smoky-sweet taste is achieved by cooking onions over high heat until caramelized and slightly blackened. Packed with nutrients, charred onions provide dietary fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants like quercetin, which support immune health and reduce inflammation. They are naturally low in calories, making them a guilt-free ingredient to enhance meals. While the charred exterior adds depth of flavor, it's important to note that over-charring can produce compounds that, in large amounts, may not be beneficial for long-term health. Prepared in moderation, charred onions make an excellent topper for grilled meats, salads, or grain bowls, offering both nutritional benefits and dynamic flavor.
