Red Onion

Red Onion (Allium cepa) is a variety of onion characterized by its deep purple-red skin and white flesh with purple rings. It has a milder, sweeter flavor compared to white and yellow onions, making it a popular choice for raw applications such as salads, salsas, and sandwiches. Red onions are often used in grilling or pickling as well, as they retain their vibrant color and sweet flavor. When cooked, their sharpness softens, adding a mild, sweet taste to dishes like stir-fries, burgers, and roasted vegetables. Rich in vitamins C and B6, antioxidants, and fiber, red onions are a nutritious addition to meals that support immune health and digestion.
