Onion
Onions are a bulbous vegetable that are widely used in cooking around the world. They are part of the Allium family, which also includes garlic and shallots.
Onions have a round, bulbous shape and are typically covered in a papery, dry skin. The flesh of an onion is layered and varies in color from white to yellow to red, depending on the variety.
Onions have a strong, pungent flavor and aroma when raw, but become sweet and mild when cooked. They are a staple ingredient in many cuisines, and are often used as a base for sauces, soups, stews, and stir-fries.
In addition to their culinary uses, onions are also packed with nutrients. They are a good source of vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants, and may offer a variety of health benefits, such as reducing inflammation and promoting heart health.
