Yellow onion

Description

Yellow onion is a classic, versatile variety with a golden-brown skin and white flesh. It is characterized by a distinct, slightly sharper flavor that develops a pleasant sweetness and intense aroma when cooked. It is low in calories and provides fiber, vitamin C, B vitamins, and minerals such as potassium and manganese, as well as sulfur compounds and flavonoids (e.g., quercetin), which have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, supporting immunity, digestion, and cardiovascular health. In the kitchen, it works well as a base for frying, stewing, and soups, pairs perfectly with sauces, stews, casseroles, and meat dishes, and when caramelized, it brings out deep sweetness, while raw adds fresh sharpness to salads and sandwiches. Store it in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated place, away from potatoes; after peeling, keep it in the refrigerator in an airtight container for a few days.
