Elevate your culinary creations with Fresh Red Onion 1kg, sourced for superior quality and freshness. Known for their vibrant purple skin and crisp white-and-red flesh, red onions are a versatile ingredient that brings both flavor and visual appeal to your plate. Unlike yellow or white onions, red onions offer a milder, slightly sweeter taste, making them the preferred choice for raw applications while still packing a punch when cooked.
At Al Modina Halal Food, we understand that great cooking starts with great produce. Our red onions are carefully selected to ensure they are firm, dry, and free from soft spots, giving you the best value and longest shelf life for your kitchen.
Red onions are distinct in the onion family for several culinary and nutritional reasons:
If you love onions in your salad or on your burger but find yellow onions too harsh, red onions are the answer. They have a sharper, more astringent flavor profile that "bites" pleasantly without overwhelming the palate. Their crunch is unmatched, adding texture to salsas, sandwiches, and wraps.
We eat with our eyes first. The deep purple outer rings of a sliced red onion add a stunning contrast to green salads, white creamy dips, and grilled meats. They retain their color well when lightly cooked or pickled, making your dishes look as good as they taste.
While famous for raw use, red onions are delicious when cooked. They caramelize beautifully, turning a deep, rich maroon color and developing a sticky sweetness that is perfect for chutneys, onion jams, and toppings for pizzas or steaks.
A 1kg bag of Fresh Red Onion opens up a world of possibilities.
Greek Salad: Chunky cubes of red onion are essential alongside cucumber, tomato, and feta.
Pico de Gallo: Finely diced red onion provides the spicy crunch in this classic Mexican salsa.
Kachumber: A staple Indian side salad made with chopped onion, tomato, cucumber, lemon juice, and chaat masala.
This is the chef's secret weapon.
Method: Slice the onions thinly. Submerge them in a mixture of vinegar, sugar, salt, and warm water. Let sit for 30 minutes.
Result: They turn a brilliant bright pink and lose their harsh bite, becoming a tangy, sweet condiment perfect for tacos, falafel wraps, and sandwiches.
In South Asian cooking, red onions form the base of most gravies (masalas).
Technique: Fry chopped onions until golden brown to release their sugars. This thickens the curry and provides a deep savory foundation for spices like cumin, coriander, and turmeric.
Cut them into wedges and roast them alongside root vegetables or chicken. They become tender, sweet, and charred at the edges, making for a delicious side dish.
Red onions are a nutritional powerhouse, often considered the healthiest of the onion varieties.
Rich in Anthocyanins: The pigment that gives them their red/purple color is a powerful antioxidant known as anthocyanin, which helps fight inflammation and protect heart health.
Quercetin Source: Onions are one of the best dietary sources of quercetin, a flavonoid linked to lower blood pressure and improved immune function.
Digestive Health: They contain prebiotic fibers that feed the good bacteria in your gut.
To keep your Fresh Red Onion 1kg pack in top condition:
Store in a Cool, Dark Place: Onions need ventilation. Keep them in a mesh bag, wire basket, or a cool pantry. Do not store them in plastic bags as moisture will cause them to rot.
Keep Away from Potatoes: Storing onions and potatoes together causes both to spoil faster due to the ethylene gas released.
Refrigeration: Whole onions should generally not be refrigerated as they can get soft. However, once cut, wrap the remaining onion tightly in plastic wrap or a sealed container and refrigerate for up to 7 days.

Q1: Are these onions spicy or sweet? A: Red onions have a balanced profile. They are sharper and spicier than sweet onions when raw, but become very sweet and mild when cooked.
Q2: Can I use these instead of yellow onions? A: Yes, absolutely. You can substitute red onions for yellow in almost any recipe. Just be aware that they will add a darker color to your dish.
Q3: How many onions are in 1kg? A: Depending on the size of the bulbs, a 1kg pack typically contains 5 to 8 medium-sized onions.
Q4: How do I reduce the "bite" for raw salads? A: If you find the raw flavor too strong, soak the sliced onions in ice water for 10-15 minutes before serving. This washes away some of the sulfur compounds, making them milder and crisper.
