Buyer's guide

Red onions should have dry papery skins with no brown discoloration. Choose firm bulbs with even-coloured skins and no signs of sprouting; avoid any that look damp or smell musty.

Preparation

Red onions are good to eat raw, chopped or sliced into salads, salsas, dressings and marinades, or you can roast them whole.
