The Red Onion is a vibrant and flavorful variety known for its deep purplish-red skin and crisp white flesh with red rings. It has a mild to moderately sweet flavor with a hint of sharpness, making it ideal for both raw and cooked dishes.
Red onions are especially popular in salads, sandwiches, salsas, and garnishes, where their color and crunch stand out. When grilled, roasted, or caramelized, they develop a rich sweetness and mellow flavor that enhances savory recipes.
