Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Are raw onions healthier than cooked onions?
A: Raw onions retain more of their vitamin C and sulfur compounds, but cooked onions still offer significant antioxidant benefits—especially when lightly sautéed or stir-fried.
Q: Can I use only one type of onion?
A: Absolutely! While using a mix of onions adds complexity, using just red or yellow onions will still produce a flavorful dish.
Q: Are onions good for digestion?
A: Yes! Onions contain prebiotics that feed healthy gut bacteria, aiding digestion and improving gut health over time.
Q: How can I reduce the sharpness of onions in the dish?
A: Cooking them slowly allows their natural sugars to emerge, balancing their pungency. You can also soak raw onions in cold water for 10 minutes before cooking to mellow their bite.
