Sweet onions are a delightful variety of onion known for their mild, sugary flavor and crisp, juicy texture. Unlike their sharper, more pungent cousins, sweet onions boast a delicate sweetness that makes them ideal for both raw and cooked applications. Their appearance is generally round and slightly flattened, with thin, papery skins that range in color from light yellow to pale white. If you are looking for a more subtle onion flavor, sweet onions are a great alternative for everyday recipes.

Sweet onions should be stored differently than other onions due to their higher water content, which makes them prone to spoilage. Keep them in a cool, dry, and dark place with good ventilation, ideally wrapped individually in paper towels or nylon stockings. Do not store them with potatoes, as the moisture from potatoes can cause onions to spoil faster. Refrigerate whole sweet onions to extend their shelf life up to a few weeks. Once cut, wrap tightly and refrigerate for up to a week.
