Description
Fresh red onions with crisp, juicy layers and a mild, naturally sweet flavor with a gentle peppery bite. Harvested fresh, they are softer and more delicate than cured storage onions, making them especially delicious both raw and lightly cooked.
Properties:
- Fresh, crisp, and juicy texture
- Mild, sweet flavor with a gentle onion bite
- Naturally provides vitamin C, fiber, and potassium
- Contains naturally occurring anthocyanins and other antioxidant plant compounds
- Fresh green tops can also be used when attached
Uses:
Perfect for salads, sandwiches, burgers, tacos, salsas, and fresh garnishes. Also delicious grilled, roasted, caramelized, pickled, or added to soups, sauces, and vegetable dishes.
Naturally Supports:
- 🛡️ Immune function – Naturally provides vitamin C, which contributes to normal immune function.
- 🌱 Healthy digestion – Provides dietary fiber as part of a varied diet.
- 🍃 Antioxidant intake – Its purple-red color comes partly from naturally occurring anthocyanins.
- ❤️ Balanced nutrition – Provides potassium and beneficial plant compounds.
- 🥗 Healthy cooking – Adds plenty of natural flavor and character to dishes without needing heavy sauces.
👨🍳 Chef’s Tip:
Slice very thinly and soak briefly in cold water if you want an even milder flavor for salads. For something completely different, quick-pickle with vinegar, a little sugar, and salt.
📦 Storage:
Because these are fresh rather than fully cured onions, keep them refrigerated and use them sooner than regular storage onions. If green tops are attached, they can also be chopped and used like spring onions.
🌍 Why We Love It:
Fresh red onion has a completely different character from the onions we keep all winter—juicier, sweeter, and more delicate. And when the green tops are still attached, almost the entire plant can find a place in the kitchen.
