About Red onion raw

Red Onion Raw is a flavorful, crisp vegetable commonly used in various cuisines, including Mediterranean, Indian, and American. Distinguished by its vibrant purple-red skin and mildly sweet taste, red onions are rich in nutrients and deliver health benefits in their raw form. They are an excellent source of antioxidants, particularly quercetin, which supports heart health and reduces inflammation. Packed with vitamins C and B6, folate, and dietary fiber, raw red onions promote immunity and digestion. They are low in calories and contain no fat, making them a light yet nutrient-dense addition to meals. Their sulfur compounds may also contribute to improving cholesterol levels and supporting detoxification processes. However, their strong flavor and natural acidity can be irritating for sensitive stomachs or those with digestive issues. Red onions raw are versatile and often enjoyed in salads, salsas, and as flavorful garnishes for numerous savory dishes.
