Do you use white onions for your cooking? It is good for health.

Hiii... You've set my mouth watering with this topic. I love white onion. I don't know its medicinal value, though.. But I like it a lot! We get it here, but it doesn't appear in the market frequently. Thanks for staring this discussion.. I am gonna have to buy some white onion now...

Oh gosh, Buchi! I have made a big mistake again. I find this is the right topic which I actually looking for. But I had written another comment on the other topic "Is white onion better than regular onion?? just now. what a careless to see the words "white onions" only, and never make sense of the content of the discussion. Yeah, I have to get to the point now. From the previous discussion as well as from the result I have mylotting on web. I understand that white onion is good for health, moreover all the family members love to eat it as well. Therefore there is always stock in our kitchen. It's always yummy no matter we stir fry, prepare stew, etc.White onions and red onions are very common in my place. And we can get them from the market at any time conveniently Take care and have a nice day

I love white onions for my salads. White onions are better than red ones when eaten raw because they are somewhat sweet. But for cooking I prefer the red onions because they are adding more flavor to my food. One disadvantage I saw with white onion is they get spoiled easily unlike red onions that last longer. This is the reason why whenever I buy white onions I makes sure it is just enough for my immediate needs.

hi buchi_bulla, I have seen the white onions in Hyderabad and Bangalore and in some other markets,but i could not find white onions in my place,here only the regular one is availble,that is correct white onions will be best for onions,here there is a special medicine of ayurvedic will be available for Jaundice since my childhood days,have a nice day

I likes and uses white onions for garnishing my fried chicken and salads. White onions tastes sweet when eaten raw but the only problem is, it can easily gone rotten if kept too long. So, whenever i want to buy white onions, i will just buy enough for one session cooking use only. As for other time cooking, i prefer to use red onions because they makes my food more delicious. Besides that, red onion can last longer and cheaper in price in my country.

Hi Buchi, how are you doing? Happy new year. :) Well, I really love the red, or pink onions. I like that strong taste that runs up my nose and creates burning sensation. :) The only problem is the smell. :( So I eat it when I am likely to have something that can cover up that smell. White onions dont have much for skin, do they? Must be getting more by weight for money. :) I was not aware of their medicinal properties. I tended to opt for pink ones because of taste. But... they taste a bit sweet. :( I dont really like my vegetables tasting sweet!

I love onions and I do use white onions when I cook. I also like green onions in salads and I like red onions both cooked and raw on sandwiches and in salads.

hi,Buchi,I don;t know authentic knowledge on red and white onion.....but i share something from another source.... The red onion requires less cooking than its white cousin. Indeed, it is perfectly acceptable served raw and is delicious in salads. The colour derives from chemicals called anthocyanins, which are chemical indicators of acidity - if you want your red onions to remain red, make sure they are served in a dish with vinegar or lemon juice. http://in.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071129083819AAyGaiq Have a nice day.

hi,bulla,we prefer pink or red onion more,because we like spicy food.When ever some guests come to our house,when there is a situation of serving nonveg,i try to add white onion as salad.Happy mylotting my friend.

White onions are really cool when stir fried and my mother uses it for making salads. The salad is made of cucumber, tomato, white onion, olives, mozzarella cheese dumplings, olive oil! Wow! Sounds tasty!

we always cook with onions in the menu. it's a healthy spice is it? and keeps the food tasty!

In my country they sell much white onion than red one. We use only the white one for cooking meals. We use it also much for salads, but for salads also we can use the red onion. We use the red one almost only in salads, so we call it *salad onion*

Well true white onions helps against jaundice, i use them, but dont get usually

Hello Buchi white onions are now avaialable in my place, but we cut them and soak them in water usually, they are stronger than the red variety, well i never knew about the jaundice thing, thanks for telling Here you can see the daily female labors keeping one or two white onions in the saree close to waist, it prevents you from sun-stroke, my younger son used to tour extensively in bike for his job, he carries in his shirt pocket too, it helps dear Bhuwan

I am not sure what kind of onions my husband uses when cooking, but they are all good. The way I see it, if they are vegetables, and thus a part of the fruit and vegetable food group, they are good for one's health.

I have heard a lot of good feedbacks on white onions, but I don't usually use them because they are not really abundant in our place. What is readily available are the red onions that can be seen anywhere.

I have heard and read that all onion family is good for your health. I´m very glad because I don´t eat mainly because food is good for my health, but because I like it. But I also think that if you care to listen to your body, you will eat healthy. I love onions, bunch onions, chives, you name it. I wouldn´t know how to cook without onions and garlic. My favorite cousin comes for diner every Friday and says that onions don´t agree with him. I think he´s just picky so I disguise them. How are you going to make a stew or caserole without onions? Until now, he has not been sick. After diner,while I´m serving him his second helping of dessert, I usually confess so I can go to bed with a clear concience.. My grandchildren have learned to love a well made meal, onions and all, since they were toddlers. They will not be fat adults as they have learned how to eat.
