Onions and mushrooms are versatile ingredients widely used in various global cuisines, from European to Asian dishes. Onions, a root vegetable, are low in calories but rich in vitamins C and B6, manganese, and antioxidants like quercetin, which support immunity and heart health. Mushrooms, technically fungi, are nutrient-dense, providing selenium, potassium, B vitamins, and compounds like ergothioneine, which may have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Together, they create a flavorful combination often used in stir-fries, soups, and sauces. Both are naturally low in fat and cholesterol, making them heart-healthy options when prepared without excessive oil, salt, or creamy sauces. They also contain dietary fiber that supports digestion. However, cooking methods can impact their nutritional value; frying or adding heavy ingredients may increase calorie and fat content. Whether raw, sautéed, or roasted, onions and mushrooms bring both taste and health benefits to your plate.
