Which color onions do you prefer?

Question

I find yellow onions are too strong and the scent of red onions also too pungent, I tend to cook with green onions for a taste of onion that's not so overwhelming.

Answer 1

You'd like vidalias, then. Some folks eat those like apples - a real sweet onion that's still got that good onion flavor, but very mild.

Answer 2

If I am going to make something I want to cook onions a long time in I use yellow - the flavor holds up

I use red onions when I want color and bite

I use white onions for quick cook dishes

I use green onions when I am making Asian inspired food or eating them raw

and Shallots for vinaigrettes and savory sauces

Answer 3

Red onions for nearly everything, or green onions. I only use whites for certain kinds of cooking and never yellow.

Answer 4

yea green onions are good for a little taste of onion. most other onions i've noticed are too pungent. a little too strong for my taste. i don't care for onions personally but green onions i can deal with here and there.

Answer 5

I really like Maui Sweet or Vidalia Sweet Onions, which are white with maybe a little bit of yellow.

Answer 6

If yellow onions are too strong for you, you should try leeks, which are a very mellow and sophisticated flavor. Also a shallot is a cross (in flavor) between and onion and garlic if you want something a little spicier. Happy eating

Answer 7

I LOVE Walla Walla onions and Vidalia onions....they are very sweet and mild flavored. I love the color of red onions because they make your dish festive. Green onions are pretty too, and mild.

Answer 8

Try Vidalia or sweet spanish onions. They're sort of yellow, but are flat on one side intstead of round and have a milder flavor.

Answer 9
