Sliced onions and lime are a simple, refreshing pairing found in many cuisines, particularly Latin American and Southeast Asian dishes. Onions are rich in antioxidants like quercetin, vitamins C and B6, and fiber, which support immune function, heart health, and digestion. Lime, packed with vitamin C and citric acid, offers immune-boosting properties and aids in iron absorption and hydration. Together, they create a vibrant balance of spicy and tangy flavors, often used as a garnish or side to enhance tacos, grilled meats, salads, or rice dishes. While both ingredients are naturally nutritious, those with sensitive stomachs may find raw onions challenging to digest. Lime should be consumed in moderation by individuals with acid reflux due to its acidity. Still, this combination provides a nutrient-rich, low-calorie option that adds zest and depth to meals while supporting overall health.
