Brown Onion

Brown Onion is a versatile allium used worldwide — common in cuisines from European stews to Asian stir-fries — valued for its pungent, savory flavor and ability to build savory bases in cooking. Nutritionally, it is low‑calorie and provides modest amounts of micronutrients, including about 7.75mg of vitamin C per 100g, along with some fiber and small amounts of protein. It also contributes mild amounts of plant compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties (for example flavonoids like quercetin), which add to its overall healthful profile when used regularly in meals.
