About Red onion
The red onion is a versatile and nutrient-rich vegetable celebrated in cuisines around the globe. With its vibrant purple-red skin and mildly sweet yet sharp flavor, it is a staple ingredient in salads, sandwiches, and stir-fries, and is especially popular in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Indian dishes. Red onions are packed with antioxidants like quercetin and anthocyanins, which offer anti-inflammatory properties and support heart health. They are also low in calories and contain essential nutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin B6, and fiber, promoting immune function and digestive health. Additionally, they are known for sulfur compounds that may help regulate blood sugar and cholesterol levels. However, individuals sensitive to sulfur-rich foods or prone to gastrointestinal discomfort should moderate their intake. From raw slices in a salad to caramelized toppings for a savory dish, red onions are as nutritious as they are flavorful.
