The way you cook, the ingredients you choose… always have an impact on your health: it’s nothing short of a scoop. Even when it comes to adding onions to a dish! A dietician, baptized Doctor Good Food on Instagramtakes stock of which is better for you: white onion or red onion?
More antioxidants
First, she specifies that the two types of onions have no differences in certain intakes: calories, proteins, carbohydrates, fibers and vitamins are equal, according to the dietician. On the other hand, their antioxidant levels have nothing to do.
The red onion is colored in this way thanks to the anthocyanins it contains, which are reputed to be antioxidants: it would contain 16 times more than a white onion. She points out that red also benefits from 20% more polyphenols, twice as many tannins, and quercetin, also acclaimed for its anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects, according to information from the cancer foundation.
