Yellow Onion

Yellow Onion

EverydayFresh

Yellow onion is a versatile allium vegetable characterized by its papery golden-brown skin and layered white flesh with a balanced sweet-pungent flavor. When cooked, its natural sugars caramelize into a rich sweetness, making it a foundational ingredient in soups, sauces, and sautés. This variety contains higher sulfur compounds than sweet onions, contributing to its sharper raw flavor and notable antioxidant content from flavonoids like quercetin.
