Onion
Onions are one of the most widely used cooking vegetables, providing sweetness, savory depth, and aroma to dishes around the world. Varieties include yellow, white, red, sweet, and specialty onions, each with different levels of sharpness and sweetness.
Fresh onions harvested in summer may have thin skins and high moisture content, while storage onions develop dry outer skins and can be kept for months. Onions can be enjoyed raw, sautéed, roasted, grilled, caramelized, pickled, or incorporated into sauces, soups, and nearly every type of savory cooking.
Where to buy fresh Onion near you
For fresh onions, choose firm bulbs with clean, dry skins and no soft spots. Fresh onions may have green tops and thinner skins.
For storage onions, look for dry, papery outer skins and firm bulbs. Avoid onions with sprouting, mold, or soft areas.
