Small Onion
Small Onions are small, mild-flavoured onions often used whole in stews, pickles and glazed vegetable mixes; they appear in European and Asian cuisines as a sweet, decorative onion. They are low in calories and provide a modest amount of vitamin C (8mg per 100g), along with some fiber and very little fat. Nutritionally they act more as a flavourful, low-energy vegetable than a protein or fat source, making them useful for adding aroma and texture without many calories.
