About Purple onion
Purple onions, also known as red onions, are vibrant, flavorful vegetables commonly used in a variety of cuisines, including Mediterranean, Mexican, and Indian dishes. Their slightly sweet yet sharp taste makes them a versatile addition to salads, salsas, sandwiches, and stir-fries. Rich in nutrients, purple onions are a good source of vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants such as quercetin, which may support heart health and have anti-inflammatory properties. They also contain sulfur compounds that contribute to their pungent aroma and may aid in boosting immunity. Naturally low in calories and fat-free, they offer a healthy way to enhance meals. However, their high natural sugar content can caramelize when cooked, leading to an increase in sweetness. Eaten raw or lightly cooked, purple onions retain most of their nutritional benefits and bring dynamic flavor and visual appeal to a wide range of dishes.
