Featured Onion Recipes of the Month

Cooking onions are here!
Known for their robust flavor that mellows with heat, cooking or storage onion varieties are perfect for the cool weather recipes we love this time of year.

Cooking/storage onions are harvested in the fall and available through April. These onions are low in water content, unlike the sweet onion varieties in the spring and summer. The lower percentage of water content enables them to keep for longer periods of time - hence their name!

For the next few months, we'll feature recipes and tips to help you take full advantage of the flavor profile that makes these onions famous in their own right.

Purchasing Tip: Multiple layers of thick, dark-colored papery skin are characteristic of cooking onions. Thin and lighter colored skins are typical of milder U.S. onion varieties available in the spring/summer.

Cooking Tip: Although cooking onions can be used in any recipe, they are best for soups, roasts, caramelizing or in any dish requiring a longer cooking time. For raw applications, soak onions in cold water overnight to lessen their pungency.
