Red Onion

# Red Onion Product Description Fresh red onions are a versatile and colorful staple for any kitchen. These vibrant purple-red bulbs bring both flavor and visual appeal to countless dishes, making them an essential produce item for home cooks and professional chefs alike. Red onions offer a milder, slightly sweeter taste compared to yellow onions, with subtle fruity undertones that become even more pronounced when cooked. Their distinctive color comes from natural antioxidants called anthocyanins, making them not just delicious but also nutritious. Rich in vitamin C, fiber, and beneficial plant compounds, red onions are a wholesome addition to your daily cooking and meal preparation. Red onions shine in both raw and cooked applications. Slice them thin for crisp, colorful salads, salsas, and fresh slaw where their natural sweetness and peppery bite really stands out. Caramelize them slowly in a pan to bring out deep, complex flavors perfect for soups, stews, burgers, and French onion soup. They're also excellent for pickling, grilling, and roasting. Red onions pair beautifully with Mediterranean ingredients like feta cheese, olives, and fresh herbs, making them ideal for Greek salads and Middle Eastern cuisine. Try them in tacos, curries, stir-fries, and grain bowls for added texture and authentic flavor. When selecting red onions from the produce section, choose firm bulbs with papery skin and no soft spots. Store them in a cool, dark place with good air circulation for maximum freshness and longevity. Before cooking, simply trim the root end and peel away the papery layers. For the best flavor in raw applications, soak thinly sliced red onions in water for 15-20 minutes to mellow their bite slightly. Whether you're preparing weeknight dinners or special occasion meals, fresh red onions from quality produce suppliers deliver consistent quality and incomparable taste that elevates every recipe.
