Onion

Onions are a versatile root vegetable used worldwide in soups, stir-fries, curries and salads. They contain sulfur compounds that can irritate the eyes when cut, causing tears. Onions can be eaten raw, thinly sliced for salads, or caramelized slowly to bring out their natural sweetness. Rich in vitamins and minerals, they are also valued for their health benefits. From home cooking to gourmet restaurants, onions play a central role in cuisine across cultures.
