Onions are an essential ingredient in cuisines all over the world. They add amazing depth and richness of flavour in dishes they are included, so it's no coincidence that so many recipes begin with a splash of oil and onion in a hot pan.
Their sharp, bright flavour when raw or pickled is also loved in salads and sandwiches. Or they can be cooked until they're sweet and caramelised.
Our red onions have a distinctive vibrant crimson skin and white and red tinged flesh.
Red onions have a much higher sugar content and are therefore sweeter than brown onions and are most often used raw in salads and salsas for their colour and mild flavour. They are also perfect for pickling, lending a pink colour to the pickle. They're also great for caramelising.
