About onions:
1. Yellow Onions – The all-purpose onion, with a nice balance of flavor and sweetness. Spanish onions are quite sweet and more delicate in flavor.
2. White Onions – These have a sharper and more prominent flavor than yellow onions. They are more tender and have a thinner, more papery skin.
3. Red Onions – With their deep purple outer skin and reddish flesh. They are fairly similar to yellow onions in flavor, though they are more crunchy. Red onions are most often used in salads, salsas, and other raw preparations for their color which becomes washed out during cooking. To mellow their flavor for eating raw, soak them in water before serving.
4. Sweet Onions – Walla Walla and Vidalia are the most common kinds of sweet onions. These onions really do taste sweet, and perish quickly, so they are the exception to the rule: they can be refrigerated until ready for use.
