These onions have a wide range of uses.
Compared to other onions, the sweet onion has a sweet and mild aroma. Because it lacks the caustic substance (various sulfides) that normally causes tears when peeling and cutting, "weeping" during preparation is a thing of the past. The onion is crunchy like an apple with a pleasant onion flavor, contains more sugars, and is very digestible.
The sweet flavor makes sweet onions a perfect choice for children. They're delicious in many dishes, especially salads, raw vegetables, barbecues, as a garnish for burgers and pizzas, stewed onions, and more.
In America, sweet onions already account for 20% of the onions used. For Europe, it's a relatively new product, and demand is starting to grow, partly due to the sweet onion's various benefits.
