Spanish Onion
Spanish onions are a type of large, mild-flavored onion with a slightly sweet taste and a pale yellow to golden skin. They have a high moisture content and tender, juicy flesh, which makes them ideal for both raw and cooked dishes. Compared to sharper varieties like white or red onions, Spanish onions are less pungent, so they are often used in recipes where a subtler onion flavor is desired, such as in salads, sandwiches, or salsas. Their sweetness also enhances when they’re caramelized or roasted, making them a versatile choice for soups, stews, and sautés. Rich in vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants, Spanish onions are nutritious and add a depth of flavor to many dishes without overpowering other ingredients.
