About Uncooked onion

The uncooked onion is a versatile vegetable and staple in many global cuisines, from Indian and Middle Eastern dishes to European and Latin American classics. Known for its sharp, pungent flavor, it is rich in nutrients and contains vitamins C and B6, along with minerals like potassium and manganese. Onions are also a good source of antioxidants, particularly quercetin, which has anti-inflammatory properties. Low in calories and high in fiber, they support digestion and promote overall health. Some compounds in raw onions, such as sulfur-containing phytochemicals, may help boost heart health and immunity. While their taste can be too strong for sensitive palates, and they might cause discomfort for those prone to digestive issues or acid reflux, raw onions remain a valuable ingredient in salads, salsas, and garnishes, providing both flavor and nutritional benefits.
