Green onions (scallions) have a milder flavor and are often used raw as a finishing touch for soups, salads, sandwiches and fried rice. Yellow onions are more pungent and are used as a cooking staple in dishes like soups, roasts and stews.
Pre-chopped and prepared onion products save prep time by eliminating chopping, are easy to store and use, and are ready to add directly to recipes. Customer reviews frequently cite time savings and overall convenience.
Some onion products are seasoned for extra flavor—for example, crispy onion strings seasoned with garlic and black pepper, and a frozen grain & roasted-vegetable blend made with seasoned bulgur and roasted vegetables that include onion.
Pickled red onions are thinly shaved onions lightly fermented in brine. They’re commonly used as a tangy topping for salads, burgers, tacos, sandwiches, avocado toast and rice bowls.
