About Quick-pickled red onions

Quick-pickled red onions are a tangy, vibrant condiment made by soaking thinly sliced red onions in a simple brine of vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. This quick method of pickling preserves the onions' crunch while balancing their sharpness with a subtle sweetness. Commonly used in cuisines worldwide, they're especially popular in Mexican dishes like tacos and tortas, as well as Mediterranean recipes. Nutritionally, red onions are a source of antioxidants like quercetin, which supports heart health, and are low in calories. The vinegar in the brine promotes healthy digestion by aiding gut bacteria. While generally a healthy choice, they can be high in sodium depending on the amount of salt used, so mindful preparation is key. Quick-pickled red onions are a flavorful way to brighten up meals while adding nutritional benefits in moderation.
