Sweet onions are mild-flavored onions known for their low sulfur content, which gives them a naturally sweet taste and minimal sharpness. They typically have pale yellow to light golden skin and a juicy, tender flesh. Unlike regular onions, sweet onions can be enjoyed raw without overpowering bite, making them ideal for salads, sandwiches, and fresh salsas. When cooked, they caramelize beautifully, enhancing their sweetness and adding depth to soups, stir-fries, and roasted dishes. Versatile and gentle in flavor, sweet onions are a favorite for both fresh and cooked recipes.
