About Small sweet onion

Small Sweet Onions are a mild, flavorful variety originating from regions like Vidalia, Georgia, and Walla Walla, Washington, known for their rich soil and ideal growing conditions. These onions have a natural sweetness due to their low sulfur and high water content, making them perfect for raw use in salads, sandwiches, or as a garnish. Packed with vitamins C and B6, potassium, and antioxidants, Small Sweet Onions are heart-healthy and support a strong immune system. Their quercetin content, a plant flavonoid, offers potential anti-inflammatory and anti-allergy benefits. Low in calories and free from fat or cholesterol, they add flavor without compromising nutrition. However, due to their natural sugar content, they may be slightly higher in carbohydrates compared to sharper onion varieties. Versatile and easy to digest, Small Sweet Onions are a wholesome addition to diverse cuisines, from American BBQ to Asian stir-fries.
