About Red onions sliced

Red onions, known for their vibrant color and crisp texture, are a versatile ingredient commonly used in Mediterranean, Indian, and Latin cuisines. These onions are milder and slightly sweeter than their white counterparts, making them an excellent choice for raw applications like salads, salsas, and garnishes. Red onions are a rich source of antioxidants, particularly quercetin, which may support heart health and reduce inflammation. They also provide vitamin C, fiber, and traces of essential minerals like potassium. Low in calories yet high in flavor, they are mainly composed of water and complex carbohydrates. However, their natural sugars can caramelize when cooked, leading to a sweeter taste but minimally affecting their nutritional profile. Consumed raw or lightly cooked, red onions add crunch and nutritional benefit, making them a healthy addition to various dishes.
