About Onion purple

Onion Purple, commonly referred to as red onion, is a vibrant vegetable widely used in Mediterranean, Indian, and Mexican cuisines. Known for its mildly sweet yet sharp flavor, this onion adds crunch and color to salads, salsas, and stir-fries. Rich in antioxidants, particularly quercetin, it supports heart health and helps combat inflammation. Purple onions are also a good source of vitamin C, fiber, and essential phytochemicals that boost immunity and digestion. With low calories and no fat, they fit well into weight-conscious diets. However, their natural sugars can caramelize when cooked, slightly raising sugar content, so moderation is key in certain dietary plans. Ideal when eaten raw or lightly cooked to preserve their nutrients, Onion Purple bridges the gap between flavor and health, making it a versatile kitchen staple.
