Peel them and slice them thinly.
Place the slices in a clean glass jar and cover with filtered, room-temperature water (about 2–3 cups).
Leave covered in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight. Strain and sip in small portions throughout the day, diluting if the flavor is too strong.
Remember, this is just one way to enjoy this vegetable. Cooking methods such as lightly sautéing or roasting can also make onions easier to digest for some people.
Other Practical Tips for Daily Integration
In addition to nutritionally enhanced options, consider these daily substitutions:
Add chopped red onion to omelets or scrambled eggs for breakfast.
Add it to homemade salsa or guacamole for extra flavor and color.
Roast it with other vegetables for a sweeter, milder flavor that pairs well with protein.
Pickled red onions (with vinegar and a pinch of salt) can be used as a spicy condiment.
These small changes can help increase your overall vegetable intake without requiring a drastic diet overhaul.
