Onions

Common onions are normally available in three-color varieties. Yellow or brown onions, are full-flavored dry onions and are the onions of choice for everyday use. Yellow onions are typically available throughout the year.

The red onion is a good choice for fresh use when its color livens up the dish. Red onions are cultivated of the onion with purplish red skin and white flesh tinged with red.

A white onion is a type of dry onion that has a pure white skin and a sweet mild white flesh. The onion can be sauteed to a dark brown color and served to provide a sweet and sour flavor to other foods.
