About Chopped red onion

Chopped red onion is a versatile ingredient popular in various cuisines, from Mediterranean to Mexican dishes. Known for its appealing color and mild, slightly sweet flavor, red onion is rich in essential nutrients and bioactive compounds. It is a great source of vitamin C, antioxidants like quercetin, and fiber, which support immune health, reduce inflammation, and promote digestion. Red onions are naturally low in calories, fat, and sodium, making them a heart-healthy addition to meals. They contain sulfur compounds that may help regulate blood sugar levels and protect against certain diseases. While they are nutritious, their pungency can sometimes cause mild digestive discomfort in sensitive individuals. Chopped red onions can be used fresh in salads, salsas, and garnishes or cooked into soups, stir-fries, and marinades, adding both flavor and health benefits to a dish.
