About Spicy onions

Spicy onions are a zesty and flavorful addition to meals, combining thinly sliced onions with spices like chili powder, cayenne, or paprika. Common in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Mexican cuisines, they’re used as a garnish, topping, or side dish to add a punch of heat and aroma. Nutritionally, onions are rich in antioxidants, vitamins C and B6, and minerals such as manganese, which support immune health and metabolism. They also contain quercetin, a plant compound linked to anti-inflammatory effects. However, the added spices in spicy onions may trigger heartburn or stomach discomfort for those sensitive to spicy foods. Typically low in calories and fat-free, they can be a healthy flavor booster when prepared with minimal oil and salt. Enjoy them in moderation to maximize the health benefits while minimizing potential digestive concerns.
