About Red onion half
The red onion half is a vibrant, tangy vegetable commonly used in a variety of cuisines, including Mediterranean, Indian, and Latin American. Known for its crisp texture and slightly milder flavor compared to white or yellow onions, it is rich in antioxidants, particularly quercetin, which may support heart health and reduce inflammation. Red onions are also a good source of vitamin C, fiber, and small amounts of essential minerals like potassium and manganese. Low in calories and saturated fat, they are a healthy addition to salads, salsas, and roasted dishes. While they deliver great nutritional value, their natural sulfur compounds can cause digestive discomfort for some individuals when consumed in large quantities. The purple skin and red-tinged flesh also boast anthocyanins, adding another layer of health benefits. Versatile and flavorful, red onion halves are a cornerstone for healthy cooking and colorful presentation.
