✦ Quercetin ✦ Low calorie ✦ Tangy flavour ✦ Higher in sodium

Pickled onions are small onions preserved in vinegar, sometimes with sugar and spices. The pickling process keeps some quercetin and sulphur compounds but adds salt and acid, and vitamin C is largely lost.

Preparation note

A condiment rather than a full vegetable serving; included to show how vinegar preservation retains some antioxidants but raises the sodium content considerably.

* % Daily Value is the proportion of an adult EU Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) supplied by 100g of this food. NRVs are the labelling standard — the same basis as the “%RI” figures printed on food packaging — so these percentages are directly comparable with a shop label. They are a single adult figure and do not vary by age or sex, which is why they sometimes differ from UK dietary reference values: the NRV for vitamin C is 80mg where the UK RNI is 40mg. When Nutriofia assesses your own intake in the reports and trackers, it uses the age- and sex-specific UK values instead.

Fibre is shown without a percentage. Our fibre values use the UK Englyst NSP method, while the published 30g daily goal is an AOAC figure — the two are measured differently and a single percentage would mislead. How we source and normalise our data →
