About Sliced red onion

Sliced red onion is a versatile vegetable known for its vibrant color, crisp texture, and mildly sweet yet tangy flavor. Commonly used in salads, sandwiches, tacos, and Mediterranean or South Asian dishes, red onions are a staple in global cuisines. Rich in vitamins C and B6, along with antioxidants like quercetin, they support immune health and may have anti-inflammatory properties. Red onions are also a good source of fiber and low in calories, making them a healthy addition to meals. Their sulfur compounds contribute to their distinctive taste and may support heart health by promoting good cholesterol levels. However, their sharp flavor can cause digestive sensitivity in some individuals when eaten raw. Whether caramelized for a sweeter flavor or served fresh for crunch, sliced red onions bring both nutrition and bold flavor to any dish.
