About Purple onions
Purple onions, also known as red onions, are a versatile and nutrient-rich vegetable celebrated for their vibrant color and bold flavor. Native to Central Asia, they are widely used in a variety of cuisines, including American, Mediterranean, and South Asian dishes. These onions are a great source of antioxidants, particularly quercetin, which supports heart health and has anti-inflammatory properties. They are low in calories, high in vitamin C, and provide small amounts of fiber and potassium, which help boost immunity and promote digestion. Purple onions also contain sulfur compounds believed to support detoxification and reduce the risk of certain cancers. Their natural sweetness makes them ideal for salads, salsas, and grilling, but their higher sugar content, compared to other onion varieties, can caramelize quickly when cooked. Overall, purple onions are an excellent addition to balanced meals, offering both flavor and a variety of health benefits.
