White onions are crisp, pungent, and mildly sweet onions known for their smooth white skin and firm, juicy flesh. They offer a sharper flavor compared to yellow onions, making them ideal for salsas, salads, garnishing, and various culinary applications that require a fresh and bold onion taste. Their high water content and delicate sweetness enhance raw dishes, while their ability to caramelize beautifully also makes them suitable for cooking. White onions are widely used in Indian, Mexican, and continental cuisines.
