white onion

White onions are known for their mild, sweet flavor, crisp texture, and pure white flesh, making them great for raw dishes like salads, salsas, and guacamole, though also good cooked. They have a high sugar, low sulfur content, leading to a less pungent taste than yellow onions, but also a shorter shelf life. Rich in Vitamin C, fiber, potassium, and antioxidants, they're a versatile, healthy choice popular in Mexican and European cuisines, offering sweetness and crunch without overpowering other flavors
