Here are three types of onions and its uses:

 

1. White Onion

White onions have the mildest flavour compared to other varieties which also means they are the best option if you love your onions raw.

Uses: Best used in salads, on sandwiches, fresh salsa or tossed in a homemade guacamole.

2. Red Onion

This is probably the sweetest of the lot. It has a sharp flavour and high sugar content, making it great for pickling.

Uses: Perfect when used for pickling or even grilled.

3. Yellow Onion

Flavourful yet has a high sulfur content (what gives onion its sharp smell and flavour) which is why cooking it for a long period of time is one of the best options to cut out the intensity.

Uses: Delicious when caramelised as the flavour really shines through.
