What it is
Pickled red onions are red onions that have been preserved in a brine of vinegar, salt, and often sugar. The pickling process softens the onions and gives them a tangy, slightly sweet flavor and a vibrant pink or red color.
Why it's used
Pickled red onions are used to add a bright, acidic flavor and a pop of color to a variety of dishes. They are often found in deli items, frozen meals, and prepared sides, adding a zesty contrast to richer flavors.
Health notes
Pickled red onions are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. The pickling process involves vinegar and salt, which can contribute to sodium intake. JECFA has evaluated vinegar and found it safe for consumption. No specific health concerns are associated with typical consumption of pickled red onions.
Allergen info
