White Onion

White Onion

EverydayFresh

White onion is a crisp, mildly sweet bulb vegetable in the allium family, distinguished by its papery white skin and translucent white flesh. Compared to yellow or red onions, it has lower sulfur compounds and acidity, making it particularly suitable for raw applications like salads, salsas, and fresh garnishes where a sharp bite is undesirable. While often consumed uncooked, it also caramelizes efficiently due to its natural sugar content, though it retains less structure than yellow onions when heated.
