Yellow onions are versatile, flavorful bulbs commonly used in a variety of cuisines worldwide. Originating from Central Asia, they are a staple in dishes ranging from soups and stews to stir-fries and sauces. Packed with essential nutrients, yellow onions are an excellent source of vitamin C, dietary fiber, and antioxidants, particularly quercetin. These compounds support immune health, digestion, and may help reduce inflammation and cholesterol levels. Low in calories and fat-free, they fit well into most diets. Yellow onions also contain natural sugars that caramelize beautifully when cooked, adding depth and sweetness to recipes. While their sulfur compounds contribute to both their pungent flavor and health benefits, they may cause temporary eye irritation when chopped and can lead to digestive discomfort in sensitive individuals when consumed in excess. Incorporating yellow onions into meals can boost flavor and nutrition without compromising on health-conscious eating.
