Cipolla, commonly known as onion, is a versatile vegetable celebrated in global cuisines, with notable usage in Italian, French, Indian, and Middle Eastern dishes. Onions come in various types, such as red, yellow, white, and green, each offering unique flavors from sweet to pungent. Rich in essential nutrients, cipolla contains vitamins C and B6, manganese, and folate, along with antioxidants like quercetin that support immune health and reduce inflammation. Their natural sulfur compounds may aid in heart health by improving circulation and lowering cholesterol. Low in calories but high in fiber, onions promote digestive health and satiety. However, they are known to cause gas or bloating in sensitive individuals due to their natural sugars. Whether caramelized, sautéed, or raw in salads, cipolla adds depth and nutrition to meals, earning its place as a pantry staple globally.
