About Medium onion

A medium onion is a versatile vegetable used globally in countless cuisines, from Mediterranean to Asian and Latin American dishes. Onions are typically a staple ingredient due to their distinctive flavor and aroma, ranging from sweet to pungent depending on preparation. Nutritionally, a medium onion is low in calories, with approximately 44 calories per serving, and offers dietary fiber, vitamins B6 and C, and essential minerals like potassium. Onions contain antioxidants, including quercetin, which supports heart health and helps reduce inflammation. Their sulfur compounds are known for antibacterial properties and may aid in boosting immunity. While onions are generally healthy, consuming them in excess raw could irritate sensitive stomachs, and frying them can increase their fat content. Easy to incorporate into salads, soups, and stews, medium onions add depth to dishes while supporting wellness in a balanced diet.
