Frozen whole small onions

Frozen whole small onions are small-sized onions, harvested at their peak ripeness, and subsequently frozen to preserve their freshness, flavor, and nutritional value. These small onions are ideal for use in stews, casseroles, roasts, and sautés, providing a mild and sweet flavor that intensifies during cooking.

Origin: Small onions can come from different agricultural regions and are common in countries with a tradition of onion cultivation, such as Mexico, Argentina, Chile, and Peru. The freezing process allows these onions to maintain their characteristics for a longer time, making them easy to use in everyday cooking without concerns about their short shelf life.

Properties: Small onions are rich in antioxidants, vitamins C and B6, and also contain sulfur compounds that benefit cardiovascular health and have anti-inflammatory properties. Being frozen, they retain most of these nutrients, and their texture softens when cooked, making them perfect for incorporating into recipes that require a subtle hint of onion.

Synonyms in Latin American Spanish: cebollitas de cambray (Mexico), cebollines (Argentina, Chile), baby onions, sweet small onions, pearl onions.
