Red Onion
Red Onion is a pungent, slightly sweet member of the allium family widely used in salads, salsas, sandwiches and many cooked dishes for color and bite. It adds crisp texture and a bright onion flavor in cuisines around the world, from Mediterranean to South Asian cooking. Nutrition-wise Red Onion is very low in energy and provides modest amounts of fiber and protein, and it supplies small but useful amounts of vitamin C (7.4mg per 100g) plus trace minerals. Onions also contribute sulfur-containing compounds and flavonoids that give them their characteristic aroma and some antioxidant activity. From a health standpoint this is a generally nutritious, low-calorie vegetable that supports flavor without many added calories; its phytochemicals are associated with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects when included regularly in the diet.
