About Raw onion

Raw onions are a crisp, flavorful vegetable known for their pungent taste and aroma. Native to Central Asia, they are a staple in cuisines worldwide, used in salads, dressings, and as a base for countless recipes. Rich in vitamin C, vitamin B6, and antioxidants like quercetin, raw onions support immune health and may help reduce inflammation. They contain dietary fiber, which aids digestion, and essential minerals such as potassium and manganese. Though low in calories, they pack a punch in nutrition while offering a natural sweetness alongside their sharp bite. However, their sulfur compounds, while beneficial for heart health, can sometimes cause gastrointestinal discomfort in sensitive individuals. Versatile and nutrient-dense, raw onions enhance dishes with their bold flavor while contributing key nutrients to a balanced diet.
