About Red onion slices

Red onion slices are a flavorful and versatile ingredient, commonly used in various cuisines worldwide, particularly in Mediterranean, Mexican, and Indian dishes. Known for their vibrant color and slightly milder taste compared to yellow onions, red onions are rich in antioxidants like quercetin, which support heart health and reduce inflammation. They are also a good source of Vitamin C, fiber, and manganese. Low in calories and fat, red onions can enhance dishes while contributing to a balanced diet. Their sulfur compounds are known to boost immunity and promote better digestion. However, individuals sensitive to onions may experience mild digestive discomfort, and excessive consumption can lead to bloating. Whether eaten raw in salads, pickled, or caramelized, red onion slices add depth of flavor and nutritional value to many meals, making them a healthy and colorful addition to your plate.
