                                According to a 2017 study in *Food Research International*, red onions contain higher levels of powerful antioxidants, quercetin and anthocyanin, than white onions. But beyond nutrition, does it matter if you use red or white onions for cooking? The answer depends on your desired flavor, texture, and visual outcome.
