Pickled onions are a tangy and flavorful condiment made by soaking onions in a brine of vinegar, water, sugar, and salt, sometimes with added spices like peppercorns or mustard seeds for extra zest. Originating from various cuisines, including British, Indian, and Mexican traditions, they are prized for their sharp, acidic bite and subtle sweetness. Typically made with red or pearl onions, they brighten salads, tacos, sandwiches, and charcuterie boards. Nutritionally, pickled onions are low in calories and fat, while providing small amounts of vitamins C and B6, as well as antioxidants from the onion itself. However, they are high in sodium due to the brining process, which may be a concern for some individuals. Their potential probiotic benefits depend on fermentation methods. Pickled onions are a versatile way to enhance dishes, offering a balance of health benefits and vibrant flavor in moderation.
