White Onion

Product Overview:
White Onions are prized for their high water content and "cleaner" flavor profile compared to yellow or red varieties. Sourced from farms that focus on early-season harvests, these onions feature a thinner, papery skin and a brilliant, snow-white interior. They are famously used in professional kitchens for dishes where you want the flavor of onion without the lingering aftertaste. Their high moisture makes them incredibly crunchy when raw, while their low sulfur content (compared to yellow onions) means they won't overpower the other delicate ingredients in your recipe.

Key Features:

Clean, Sharp Bite: Offers a refreshing, bright pungency that is sharper than red onions but less "heavy" than yellow ones.

Snow-White Presentation: The lack of pigment makes them ideal for white gravies, cream sauces, or any dish where you want to maintain a pristine, light color.

SQA Monitored Selection: Every onion is hand-inspected for a firm, heavy build and a bright, translucent-free skin. We ensure the bulbs are solid with no "neck-rot," guaranteeing a crisp snap every time (SQA Checked).

High Crunch Factor: Because of their high water content, they provide a superior texture for fresh toppings and salsas.
