About Potatoes and onions

Potatoes and onions are versatile vegetables commonly used together in a range of cuisines worldwide, from hearty stews to roasted sides. Potatoes, originating from South America, are nutrient-rich, offering vitamin C, potassium, and dietary fiber, though their health benefits can vary depending on preparation methods. Onions, cultivated globally for centuries, are low in calories and packed with antioxidants, such as quercetin, as well as vitamins B6 and C. When combined, they create a flavorful base for numerous dishes, complementing their earthy and sweet profiles. While potatoes can be high in starch, resulting in a higher glycemic index when eaten in excess, their nutritional content makes them a satisfying energy source. Similarly, onions add depth to meals while supporting heart health and immunity. To maximize health benefits, they are best enjoyed baked, roasted, or sautéed with minimal added fats or salts.
