How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Onions
- Choose onions that are round, with long roots indicating freshness. Avoid those with unusual shapes or missing roots, as they will not taste good.
- Good onions have thin, shiny skins, a beautiful yellow color, even coloring, and no dark spots. When touched, they feel smooth and firm.
- Avoid buying sprouted onions, which have both hard and soft spots and uneven coloring, as these are not fresh and may taste bitter.
