About Onion slice

An onion slice is a thin cross-section of an onion bulb, a versatile vegetable widely used in global cuisines. Originating from Central Asia, onions are staples in dishes from Indian curries to Mediterranean salads. Rich in nutrients, a single slice contains vitamin C, manganese, and small amounts of B vitamins and potassium. Onions are also packed with antioxidants, particularly quercetin, which may help reduce inflammation and support heart health. They are naturally low in calories, fat-free, and contain soluble fiber, which supports digestion. While raw onion slices add a crisp, sharp flavor to dishes, cooking softens their bite and releases natural sugars. However, some individuals may experience indigestion from onions or find them irritating to sensitive eyes. Overall, onion slices are a healthy way to enhance flavor without excess calories or sodium.
