Simple yet impactful, Pickled Red Onions add more than just flavor to your plate. Red onions contain quercetin, an antioxidant linked to improved egg and sperm quality, while the pickling process supports gut health and digestion.
Because hormone balance begins in the gut, these tangy onions are a smart fertility-supporting condiment. Add them to salads, bowls, or toast to elevate meals while quietly supporting reproductive health.

Description

These quick pickled red onions support gut health and estrogen metabolism while adding flavor and crunch to fertility-focused meals.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. To begin, thinly slice the red onion using a mandolin or sharp knife. If you are slicing a lot of onions, wear goggles! 😁 You’ll thank me for it.
  2. Now, wash and dry the glass jar with a tight-fitting lid and set aside.
  3. Next, place the thinly sliced red onions into the glass jar. Be sure to push as many onions into the jar as you can.
  4. Moving to the stove, in a small pot, combine water and vinegar, sugar and salt and bring to a simmer for 5 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and add fennel seeds and peppercorns.
  6. Finally, pour the warm mixture into the glass jar and over the onions. Make sure to cover the onions fully with the liquid.
  7. Let it sit for 30 minutes.
  8. Enjoy or place in the fridge.

Note

These can be eaten for up to 2 weeks when stored in the fridge.
