Red Onions add colour, sweetness, and a mild bite to a variety of dishes. They shine in Ghanaian Kelewele and Barbadian Pickled Onions, adding contrast and depth to bold, spicy flavours. Their crisp texture makes them great for salads, grilling, or caramelising into rich sauces.
Fun fact: Red onions get their vibrant colour from anthocyanins — natural plant pigments that also act as antioxidants. When cooked with acid like lime or vinegar, their colour becomes even brighter.
