About Sliced purple onions

Sliced purple onions, also known as red onions, are a versatile ingredient recognized for their vibrant color and crisp texture. Commonly used in Mediterranean, Mexican, and Indian cuisines, they add a mild, slightly sweet flavor to dishes. Purple onions are a rich source of antioxidants, particularly quercetin, which supports heart health and has anti-inflammatory properties. Packed with vitamins C and B6, they also contribute to a strong immune system and proper metabolic function. Their high fiber content aids in digestion, while trace minerals like potassium and manganese support overall health. Despite offering numerous nutritional benefits, purple onions can cause mild stomach discomfort in sensitive individuals due to their natural sulfur compounds. Low in calories and free of fat, sliced purple onions are a wholesome choice for salads, salsas, sandwiches, or as a tasty garnish to enhance flavor and nutrition in your meals.
