India is the second largest onion growing country in the world. Indian onions are famous for their pungency and are available round the year. The onion is a hardy cool-season biennial but usually grown as annual crop. The onion has narrow, hollow leaves and a base which enlarges to form a bulb. The bulb can be white, yellow, or red and require 80 to 150 days to reach harvest. The major onion producing states are Maharashtra, Karnataka, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Bihar, Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh and many more. Onions are an excellent sources of vitamin C, sulphuric compounds, flavonoids and phytochemicals and therefore super-healthy. Overall, red onions contain a higher amount of antioxidant compounds.

Red onions are most often used in salads, salsas, and other raw preparations for their colour and relatively mild flavour.
