Yellow onions are thought to have originated in Asia, and have been cultivated for over 5,000 years.
Appearance
Yellow onions have a thick, copper-colored, paper-like outer skin that’s different from white onions.
Taste
Yellow onions have a strong onion flavor with a sweet note that becomes sweeter when cooked. They can be spicy when raw, and their taste can vary depending on growing conditions.
Uses
Yellow onions are often cooked because of their strong flavor. They can be caramelized and added to French onion soup or frittatas, or sautéed in olive oil and used in stir-fries. They can also be sliced raw and added to burgers or salads.
Nutrition
Yellow onions are rich in antioxidants and plant compounds, especially quercetin and sulfur-containing compounds. In fact, they may contain almost 11 times more antioxidants than white onions. However, cooking can significantly reduce the levels of some antioxidants.
Storage
Yellow onions can be stored at room temperature in a cool, dark place. For longer storage, they can be wrapped in paper and put in the refrigerator. Cut or peeled onions should also be stored in plastic in the refrigerator, but they will only last a few days.
