About White onion slices

White onion slices are a versatile ingredient commonly used in cuisines worldwide, from American salads to Indian curries. Originating from allium vegetables, white onions have a milder, sweeter flavor compared to yellow or red onions, making them ideal for raw applications like sandwiches, tacos, and garnishes. Nutritionally, they are low in calories while providing vitamin C, fiber, and essential antioxidants such as quercetin, which supports immunity and reduces inflammation. Their sulfur compounds may promote heart health and help with detoxification. However, raw white onions may cause gastrointestinal discomfort in some individuals due to their sharp compounds, and excessive consumption can lead to bad breath. Rich in flavor and nutrients, white onion slices are a simple yet impactful addition to meals, enhancing both taste and wellness in moderation.
