Known As: Red onions; Lal Pyaj; Lal Kanda; Purple onions;
Appearance: Red onions have a deep purple-red skin that is often papery and thin. The inner layers of the onion are red-tinged, ranging from deep purple to reddish-pink. The bulb is typically round or oval-shaped, with multiple layers of tightly packed flesh.
Texture: Red onions have a firm and crunchy texture when raw. The flesh is crisp and juicy, with a slightly pungent aroma. When cooked, red onions become softer and sweeter, with a more mellow flavor and tender texture.
Flavor: Red onions have a mildly sweet and slightly pungent flavor when raw, with less sharpness compared to white onions. The flavor becomes sweeter and more savory when cooked, making red onions versatile for both raw and cooked applications.
Culinary Uses: Red onions are used in a variety of culinary dishes, both raw and cooked. They are commonly used in salads, salsas, sandwiches, and wraps for their vibrant color and mild flavor. Red onions can also be grilled, roasted, sautéed, or caramelized to enhance their natural sweetness and add depth to dishes such as soups, stews, stir-fries, and grilled vegetables.
Nutritional Content: Red onions are low in calories and fat and are a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They contain antioxidants such as quercetin and anthocyanins, which may help reduce inflammation and lower the risk of chronic diseases. Red onions also provide essential nutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin B6, folate, and potassium.
Storage: Red onions should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight. Whole red onions can be kept at room temperature for several weeks. Once cut, unused portions should be wrapped in plastic wrap or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
