About Oignons

Oignons, or onions, are versatile, flavorful bulbs used in cuisines worldwide, from French soups to Indian curries. Belonging to the allium family, they are rich in vitamins C and B6, antioxidants, and essential minerals like potassium. Their natural compounds, such as quercetin and sulfur-containing compounds, may support heart health, boost immunity, and have anti-inflammatory properties. Onions are low in calories and high in fiber, making them an excellent addition to a balanced diet. They come in various types, like red, yellow, and white, each with distinct sweetness or sharpness. While raw onions have many health benefits, over-consuming them, especially fried or caramelized variants, can increase calorie and fat intake. Additionally, their strong flavor can cause stomach discomfort for sensitive individuals. Nevertheless, oignons remain a staple for enhancing nutritious meals globally.
