Description

description The 1 kg package typically contains fresh, whole, dry bulb onions—the most fundamental cooking ingredient worldwide. The variety is usually a Yellow (Brown) Onion or a Red/Pink Onion, depending on the market and season. 1. Physical Characteristics (1 kg Pack) Quantity: 1 kilogram will usually contain 4 to 7 medium-to-large onions, or a greater number of smaller ones, depending on the bulb size. Appearance (General): The bulbs should be firm, dry, and clean, with thin, papery, fully intact outer skins. They are spherical or slightly flattened (globe-shaped). Quality Check: When selecting, look for onions that are heavy for their size and free of sprouts, soft spots, or mold, which indicate decay. Pungency/Aroma: Onions are characterized by a strong, pungent aroma and flavor due to their sulfur compounds, which is key for building a flavorful base in cooked dishes.
