About Quarter onion

A quarter onion is a versatile and nutrient-packed vegetable segment, commonly used in cuisines worldwide, ranging from Indian and Mexican to Italian and American dishes. Onions belong to the allium family and are prized for their distinct flavor, ranging from sweet to pungent, depending on the variety and preparation. A quarter onion contains vitamins C and B6, manganese, and antioxidants like quercetin, which may have anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties. Low in calories and high in water content, onions are excellent for hydration and digestion. Their natural compounds may support heart health by aiding in cholesterol and blood pressure regulation. However, individuals with sensitive digestion or irritable bowel conditions should moderate intake, as onions can sometimes cause bloating. When added to salads, soups, or sautéed dishes, a quarter onion enhances flavor while offering a range of health benefits.
