Tips for Buying Onions

There a many types of onions available in the market. Storage onions include red & yellow globe, Spanish, white, cipolline and pearl onions. Onions range in pungency from very sweet and mild to very strong. The same type of onion that is grown in a different location can vary considerably in pungency.

Choose storage onions that are firm and dry with no soft spots. Be sure the neck is dry and closed. To avoid watery eyes when chopping large amounts of pungent onions, refrigerate the onions prior to cutting or cut them under running water.

Use onions as a flavor enhancer in soups, stews, casseroles, and pasta. The longer you cook onions, the milder they become.
