pickled red onion

Pickled red onions are sold in several cut styles—commonly sliced or shaved, and sometimes offered in bite-sized pieces depending on the jar.

Package sizes range from small multi-jar sets (for example, two 1.23 oz / 35 g jars sold together) up to larger single jars around 16 fl oz. In short, you’ll find options from single-ounce servings to pint-size jars.

Pickled red onions are used to add brightness and crunch to dishes such as salads, burgers, tacos, sandwiches, avocado toast, rice bowls, and to complement charcuterie or antipasto selections.

Ingredient lists commonly include red onion, sugar, vinegar (e.g., wine vinegar) and pectin; some specialty listings also mention dehydrated truffle or artificial flavoring. Labeling varies by product—some jars explicitly state "no artificial colors or flavors," while others list artificial flavor ingredients.

Flavors range from classic brine-style to sweeter pickles. Listings describe tangy-and-sweet profiles, and some specialty jars highlight caramelized sweetness or truffle undertones.

Reviewers most often comment on taste and strong flavor or how the onions enhance dishes. A minority of reviews also note packaging concerns, such as tubs leaking.

Expect a crunchy or crisp texture and a bright, vibrant color—qualities reviewers and descriptions often highlight as adding visual and textural vibrancy to dishes.
