About Raw red onion
Raw red onion is a vibrant, crisp vegetable known for its sharp flavor and striking purple-red hue. Native to Asia but widely cultivated around the world, red onions are a staple in various cuisines, complementing salads, salsas, and marinades with their zesty bite. Nutritionally, they are low in calories and packed with vitamins C and B6, folate, and potassium, along with antioxidants such as quercetin which may help reduce inflammation and support heart health. Red onions also offer dietary fiber to aid digestion. They are an excellent choice for adding flavor without significant fat or sugar content. However, their strong taste and potential to cause stomach irritation for sensitive individuals mean they’re best consumed in moderation. Rich in sulfur compounds, they have antimicrobial properties and may promote healthy skin and immunity, making raw red onion a powerful addition to a balanced diet.
