White onions are a crisp and slightly pungent onion variety known for their clean, sharp flavor and bright white papery skin. Their firm texture and mild heat make them a popular choice in both raw and cooked dishes.
With a higher water content than yellow onions, white onions deliver a refreshing crunch—perfect for salsas, salads, sandwiches, and garnishes. When cooked, they soften quickly and develop a gentle sweetness, enhancing soups, stir-fries, curries, and sautéed dishes.
