About Small onion

Small onions, also known as pearl onions or baby onions, are a flavorful addition to many dishes and a staple in various cuisines, including European, Indian, and Southeast Asian. They have a sweeter, milder taste compared to larger onions, making them ideal for pickling, roasting, or adding depth to stews and soups. Nutritionally, small onions are low in calories and provide fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants such as quercetin, which may support immune health and reduce inflammation. They also contain small amounts of essential minerals like potassium and manganese. While naturally healthy, their nutritional value can be impacted by preparation methods, such as frying or the addition of heavy sauces. Incorporating small onions into balanced meals can enhance both flavor and health benefits while supporting overall wellness.
