Introduction
About this Recipe
By: Amanda Higgins
This recipe came via Stacey Clare in Australia, so all the credit goes to her. She does the most amazing fermenting courses and creates deliciously healthy food. Thank you Stacey for a real cracker of a recipe.
Red onions contain anthocyanins, which is a special plant pigment in the flavonoid family that give red onions their deep colour. Research studies have found that people who consume more foods rich in anthocyanins have a reduced risk of heart disease. These are low in sugar with only a teaspoon to balance the sharpness of the vinegar. The apple cider vinegar has huge antimicrobial and antioxidant benefits. So gobble away!
