hmmmmm. i going to try this one this week, insha’a Allah. what’s the difference between red onion, white onion, yellow onion (the one most buy), and green oinions?
Different onions have different uses because of their taste. Yellow onions are a sweet onion common cooking onion in many cultures because they do not loose their flavor as much as others when they are cooked. Yellow onions also carmalize well, and they also make a tasty fried onion when they are crispy and crunchy. Red onions can be very powerful but early in the year it isn’t a very “hot” onion. A lot depends on it’s size and time of year it is used Reds are great raw onions for salads and they are pretty because of their purple skin color. White onions are a lot like yellow onions but they are not as sweet, they are much more onion flavored. Green onions are young and don’t have a great deal of taste when cooked, however they do have a nice onion flavor when they are raw and they make a pretty garnish. (hope it was helpful!)
