Red onion

Red onions are a type of vegetable that belongs to the onion family. They are known for their vibrant purplish-red skin and rings of white flesh inside. Red onions grow in the ground, just like other types of onions, and are harvested when fully matured. They are commonly used in cooking to add flavour and colour to a variety of dishes.

Red onions are grown in fields and are harvested by farmers once they have fully developed. After harvesting, the onions are cleaned, peeled, and sliced for packaging. They can be used raw in salads, sandwiches, or salsas, or cooked in dishes like stir-fries, soups, and stews. Red onions are versatile and can be caramelised for a sweet flavour or pickled for a tangy twist.

Red onions are a popular ingredient in many dishes due to their distinctive flavour and crunchy texture. They add a mild sweetness and a pop of colour to salads, burgers, and tacos. Red onions are often included in recipes for burgers, sandwiches, and pasta dishes. They can also be grilled, roasted, or sautéed to enhance their natural sweetness and bring out their unique taste in various cuisines.
