What are the Red Onions?

Sometimes called purple onions, are cultivars of the onion with purplish red skin and white flesh tinged with red

These onions tend to be medium to large in size and have a mild to sweet flavor. They are often consumed raw, grilled or lightly cooked with other foods, or added as color to salads. They tend to lose their redness when cooked. Red onions are available throughout the year. Red onions are high in flavoring, and it’s hard to imagine a civilization without onions.

History

Onions are native to Asia and the Middle East and have been cultivated for over five thousand years.

Onions have been revered throughout time not only for their culinary use, but also for their therapeutic properties. As early as the 6th century, onions were used as a medicine in India.

How to select and store

Dry bulb onions should be firm for their size and have little to no scent. Avoid bulbs with any cuts, bruises, or blemishes. When purchasing whole peeled onions, select ones with an outside layer that does not show signs of being dehydrated. Fresh-cut onions should be purchased before the expiration date.

Onions can last for several weeks (if not months) without compromising their taste or nutritional value. However, you must be sure to store them in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place.

Healthy benefits of Red Onions

Onions in general are good for us, but red onions have a higher concentration of flavonoids in the outer layers, which can help reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. Red onions also contain the brain-boosting flavonol quercetin, which helps keep memory in tip-top shape. The regular consumption of onion reduces the risk of common coughs and cold.
