Onions

• Color: The outer skin color of onions can vary depending on the variety, ranging from white, yellow, gold, red, and even purple
• Flavor: Onions have a strong, pungent flavor that mellows and sweetens when cooked. The intensity of the flavor can vary depending on the variety and the part of the onion used. The green tops (scallions) have a milder flavor than the bulb.
• Nutritional Value: Onions are a good source of vitamins C and B6, as well as fiber and manganese.
• Selection and Storage: Choose onions that are firm and have dry, papery skin. Avoid onions that are soft, bruised, or have sprouted. Onions can be stored at room temperature in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place for several weeks.
