The benefits of cooking with onions!

Depending on the preparation, onions can add several flavors to your meals. Raw, they're tangy. Sautéed onions taste subtle. Caramelized onions can use their natural sugars to improve meals. Pickled, they stay crisp and taste distinct.

Onions Are Exceptionally Healthy 

Did you know onions are good for you? One medium onion provides 20% of your daily vitamin C requirements and 13% of your daily fiber requirements and is naturally fat, salt, and cholesterol free. They provide heart-healthy nutrients to keep your ticker strong, fight diabetes, and help prevent some malignancies. They also contain gut-healthy prebiotics. A new study found that a diet high in onions and garlic lowered the incidence of breast cancer, which may interest women. In 2020, researchers discovered that a diet high in flavonoids frequently found in onions could reduce the incidence of Alzheimer's disease.

• Onions can be consumed raw in many different ways. Use them in omelets, salads, or even canned vegetables or beans. Our favorite: Stir a whole chopped onion and a few minced garlic cloves into a can of green beans. Your plain old can of beans is transformed into a tasty and nutritious vegetable treat. 

• Pickled onions can fool you. When pickled, they offer a significant amount of acidity and crunch. Test them in salads and on tacos.

• Onions are the ideal complement to any roasted or fried meat when you can take the time to caramelize them properly. Caramelized onions create a fantastic basis for sauces, dips, and even ice cream. To produce a sweet and hearty onion taste, caramelize your onions before blending them with the other ingredients.

• Fried Onions. With either onion rings or onion petals, you can’t go wrong. To reduce calories and create a better side dish for your cookouts or burger nights, air-fry or bake them.

• Stuffed Onions. Nothing beats the satisfaction of serving food out of a container that can be eaten.
