RED ONION (PACK OF 5)
Information
Description:
Red onions are a type of onion known for their vibrant purplish-red skin and white flesh tinged with red rings. They are medium to large in size, with a slightly milder and sweeter flavor compared to yellow or white onions, especially when raw. The crisp texture and striking color make red onions a popular choice for fresh use in salads, salsas, and sandwiches, where their color can be showcased. When cooked, red onions can become sweeter and lose some of their color, turning a deep, rich brown. They are also often pickled, which enhances their natural sweetness and color.
