About Shredded red onions

Shredded red onions are a vibrant, tangy topping commonly used in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and South Asian cuisines. Known for their crisp texture and striking purple hue, these onions are packed with antioxidants, including quercetin, which supports heart health and reduces inflammation. They are a rich source of vitamins C and B6, as well as dietary fiber, aiding digestion and bolstering the immune system. Red onions also contain sulfur compounds that promote detoxification and enhance overall wellbeing. With minimal calories, no fat, and a small amount of natural sugars, they are a healthy addition to salads, wraps, and grilled dishes. However, their sharp flavor can be intense for some, so soaking them in water or vinegar before use can reduce pungency. Red onions offer both nutritional benefits and a versatile flavor profile, making them a delicious and health-conscious choice for various meals.
