Onion is a very versatile vegetable and widely used in cuisines around the world. It is rich in nutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin B6 and iron, and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The consumption and production of onion is quite relevant to the food import and export scenario.
One of the main advantages of the onion is its versatility in the kitchen. It can be boiled, baked, fried, eaten raw, or also as a spice. In this case, it is quite common that it is also ground, as it increases its versatility and can be achieved with an onion mill.
Onion is a vegetable that is widely grown and consumed all over the world, so it is very common to find onion in many recipes from different cultures, such as Mexican guacamole or, for example, Chinese fried rice. There’s no doubt about it: onions go well in hot dish recipes such as meat and potatoes, soups and stews.
