About Sweet yellow onion

Sweet yellow onions are a versatile, nutrient-rich addition to many dishes, prized for their mild, slightly sweet flavor and golden skin. Originating from regions such as the U.S., Italy, and Spain, they are a staple in a variety of cuisines, including American, Mediterranean, and Asian. These onions are low in calories—approximately 45 per medium-sized onion—while providing essential nutrients like vitamin C, vitamin B6, manganese, and dietary fiber. They're also rich in antioxidants, including quercetin, which may support immune health and reduce inflammation. Sweet yellow onions contain natural sugars that caramelize beautifully when cooked, enhancing their savory-sweet profile. While they're high in flavor, they’re low in sodium and cholesterol. However, some individuals with digestive sensitivities may find onions harder to tolerate. Ideal for grilling, roasting, or using raw in salads, sweet yellow onions are a delicious way to boost flavor and nutrition in your meals.
