Discover red onion, a culinary gem that stands out both for its aesthetics and its unique flavor profile. Its characteristic skin of intense purple-red color and its white flesh with violet hues make it an essential ingredient for visually appealing presentations. Key Features: Unlike other varieties, it offers a softer, sweeter, and more aromatic flavor, with a subtle spicy touch that does not overpower the palate. When cooked, its sweetness intensifies, and when consumed raw, it maintains a crispy texture. It adds visual appeal, as its vibrant color, due to anthocyanins (powerful natural antioxidants), adds a spectacular contrast to any dish, turning a simple salad or ceviche into a culinary masterpiece. It maintains a firm and crispy texture, ideal for adding freshness to your preparations. Culinary Uses: When raw, it will be the star ingredient for salads, sandwiches, gourmet burgers, and fresh sauces like pico de gallo or pebre. Perfect for quick pickling, creating acidic and sweet garnishes that pair well with meats and fish. Suitable for grilling, sautéing, or adding to stews and soups, where its flavor softens and sweetens. Beyond its flavor, red onion is a healthy food. It is rich in vitamins (A, B, C, and E), minerals such as potassium and calcium, and stands out for its high content of antioxidants (quercetin and anthocyanins) that contribute to overall well-being.
