About Onions
Onions are versatile, bulbous vegetables widely used in cuisines around the world, from hearty French soups to spicy Indian curries. Belonging to the allium family, they are packed with nutrients, including vitamin C, B vitamins, and potassium, while being low in calories and fat-free. Rich in antioxidants, such as quercetin, onions may support immune function and heart health by reducing inflammation and improving circulation. Their natural sulfur compounds contribute to their distinctive flavor and potentially offer antibacterial properties. Onions come in a variety of types, including sweet, red, white, and yellow, each lending unique characteristics to dishes. While raw onions can add powerful zest, cooked onions tend to be milder and sweeter. Excessive consumption can lead to digestive discomfort for some, so moderation is key. Whether caramelized, sautéed, or eaten raw, onions are a flavorful and nutritious staple in kitchens worldwide.
