HEALTH & BENEFITS

While this sauce is not particularly healthy, red onions are a great source of antioxidants and contain quercetin, which has been linked to reducing inflammation and improving heart health.
Moderate consumption of red wine, like port, has also been linked to improving heart health due to its high levels of antioxidants called polyphenols.
