Pickled Onions

Pickled Onions are thinly sliced red onions preserved in a vinegar-based brine and used as a tangy condiment in many cuisines — common on tacos, salads and sandwiches. They’re known for bright color, sharp-sweet flavor and quick pickling methods that can be done at home in minutes. Nutrition-wise Pickled Onions are very low in energy at 26kcal per 100g and contribute a little dietary fiber along with small amounts of B vitamins and trace minerals. The pickling process adds sodium, so they’re best used as a flavoring rather than a large-volume side. Pickled red onions also retain onion phytochemicals that act as antioxidants, and fermented or low-salt preparations can provide additional probiotic or gut-friendly benefits — just watch portion size if you are limiting sodium.
