The article above also goes into more details on each.
I used to obsess over the right onion but now I just get whatever and hardly could taste much differences. Everything works, especially if you’re a amateur cook.
I find raw red onion to be super harsh, but it’s delicious when pickled or cooked.
Same. I was very confused they were described as mild and great for eating raw.
I crossposted the other one without actually looking at the content, that’s on me 😅
I had no idea shallots weren’t red onios :c
I was given false information when I was young that, a shallot was a cross between a garlic and an onion. It’s not its its own variety within the allium family.
I like to keep a few around fir when I want onion flavor but don’t want to cut into a whole onion.
