Shredded onion is a preparation method commonly used in various cuisines worldwide, including Indian, Mexican, Italian, and Mediterranean dishes. This delicate slicing technique enhances its natural flavor and aroma, making onions versatile for enhancing soups, salads, stir-fries, and marinades. Onions are rich in vitamins C and B6, manganese, and antioxidants such as quercetin, which may help reduce inflammation and promote heart health. They are naturally low in calories, fat-free, and contribute dietary fiber essential for digestive health. However, their sulfur compounds, responsible for their pungency, can cause discomfort in individuals prone to gas or digestive sensitivities. While raw shredded onions retain maximum nutrients, cooking can reduce sulfur content and mellow their flavor. Whether enjoyed raw or cooked, shredded onions provide a robust, flavorful base while contributing valuable nutrients to your meals.
