About Red onions

Red onions are a flavorful vegetable known for their vibrant color and mild, sweet taste. Originating as a staple in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Southeast Asian cuisines, they are widely used raw in salads, salsa, and garnishes or cooked in soups, stir-fries, and roasted dishes. Packed with antioxidants like quercetin, red onions can support heart health and boost the immune system. They are also a source of vitamins C and B6, potassium, and fiber, which aid digestion and help regulate blood pressure. Low in calories and fat, they offer a healthful addition to various meals. However, individuals with sensitive stomachs may experience digestive discomfort due to their high sulfur content. Whether enjoyed fresh or cooked, red onions provide both nutritional value and bold flavor, making them a versatile ingredient in any kitchen.
