    Onions grown in soils without sulphuric compounds are actually very sweet and tasty without any oniony flavour.

          I don’t understand the monsters who put a whole slice of raw red onion on their burgers. The onion is all they could possibly be tasting

            I cant do a whole slice, but a few raw rings or bits spread over are great way to add some zest. Works better with the mild onion types though.

              I love a mix of raw and caramelized onions on my burgers. Cooked onions are too soft, raw onions are too strong (spicy?), but mixing them gets a good combo of texture and flavor.

        You grow them… in soils without sulfuric compounds…

        Search for sweet onion farms in your country. They are rarely available in the shops.

        Try ‘Walla walla’ or red onions

        I never use white onions when cooking 🤢

          I have eaten plenty of pungent red onions, I don’t think the color is enough to tell.

          Pungent onions, cooked, are much sweeter and more flavorful than sweet onions cooked.

          Sweet onions are fantastic raw, but should be called Mild Onions instead.

          White onion for cooking, sweet onion for raw, red onion splits the difference, but red onion quick pickle is better than any other onion pickles.

      Is that what japan onions are like? I dislike onions intensely, I had a meal that was 30 percent onion in japan and i had no issue finishing it. It went well with the peppered beef.
