White onions are a variety of dry onion known for their bright white skin, crisp texture, and sharp, pungent flavor. Commonly used in Mexican and Latin American cuisine, they add a bold bite to dishes like salsa, guacamole, and tacos. Their high sulfur content gives them a stronger taste compared to yellow or red onions, making them especially noticeable when used raw. While they can be cooked, white onions don’t caramelize as deeply as other types, but they still add great flavor to sautés and stir-fries. Nutritious and versatile, they’re a staple in kitchens around the world.
