White onions are a type of onion with white skin and white flesh. They are members of the Allium family along with garlic and leeks. They tend to have a sharper, more pungent flavor than yellow onions, and thinner, papery skin. They can be eaten cooked or raw (mince and add to salsas and chutneys). Make sure to choose a variety suited to your day length.
