About Small onions

Small onions, often referred to as pearl onions or baby onions, are diminutive and flavorful members of the allium family. Popular across global cuisines, they feature prominently in European dishes like stews and braises, as well as sweet-and-sour recipes in Asian cooking. These tiny gems are nutrient-rich, offering a good source of vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants, which can support immune health and digestion. Their naturally mild sweetness makes them a versatile ingredient, whether caramelized, pickled, or roasted. Low in calories and fat, small onions are an excellent way to add depth to dishes without excessive calories. However, large quantities or preparations using heavy sauces may increase sodium and sugar intake. Easy to store and quick to prepare, small onions are a simple way to add flavor and nutritional benefits to your meals.
