Good For You

“Thank you for the informative info on your 2-lb red onion bags! I count on onions for all their fresh, zingy taste and health benefits, on/with just about everything except oatmeal! They’re even good with peanut butter. As I’m updating my wildfire-escape list this year, I’ll make sure an onion is at the top of the list. It’s easy to tear off a piece of onion layer to go with a cheese stick. NOTHING is more essential than onion!” -- Sona Lewis, Willits, CA

Use the Right Cut

Different recipes call for different types of onion cuts. Check out the best cuts for your recipe. These pros have shared their various cutting techniques:

[ Watch our “How to Cut Onions” videos for cutting tips! »]

Best used on a sandwich or burger, pizza, or baked or fried into onion rings. Great cut for caramelizing onions.

Very finely chopped works great mixed with meat to tenderize, in Indian sauces to thicken without cream or stirred into a salsa.

Or “Frenched”, these slivers are good on salads, skewered and grilled or used for pickling.

A larger chop than mince, this cut works well in soups, dips, egg dishes and with pasta. The most versatile, all-around cut of onion.
