Characteristics
Appearance Red onions have a deep red to purple papery outer skin and white flesh with reddish-purple rings.

Texture They are crisp and firm, making them suitable for raw applications.

Culinary Uses
Red onions are versatile and widely used to add flavor and color to a variety of dishes.
Raw Their mild flavor makes them ideal for salads, salsas, sandwiches, and as a garnish.
Cooked While they can be cooked, their color may fade to an uneven purple-brown. When grilled or roasted, they acquire a sweet, jammy texture.
Pickled A very popular use is quick-pickling, where the acid in the vinegar transforms their color into a brilliant magenta or vibrant pink. Pickled red onions are a tangy condiment for tacos, burgers, and grain bowls.
Caramelized They can be caramelized, although yellow or brown onions work better for an even golden color.
