About Red onion cooked

Red onion, when cooked, transforms from sharp and pungent to sweet and mellow, offering a depth of flavor that enhances a wide variety of dishes. Commonly used in global cuisines such as Italian, Indian, and Mediterranean, cooked red onions are a versatile ingredient that adds subtle sweetness to soups, stir-fries, casseroles, and more. Nutritionally, they are low in calories yet rich in antioxidants like quercetin, which may support heart health and anti-inflammatory functions. Cooked red onions retain their fiber content, promoting healthy digestion, and provide a modest amount of essential vitamins such as vitamin C and B6, as well as minerals like potassium. However, cooking can reduce some heat-sensitive nutrients, like vitamin C, while adding oil or butter during preparation can increase caloric content. Overall, they are a flavorful and nutritious addition to a balanced diet when prepared thoughtfully.
