White onion (Allium cepa, 'sweet onion') is a cultivar of dry onion that has a pure white skin and a sweet, mild white flesh.
Similar to red onions, due to the high sugar content, they have a short shelve life, up to 2 days, or if refrigerated, they can last up to a month.[1]
This onion is used in Mexican foods or complementing the flavors of other ingredients.
The onion can be sautéed to a dark brown color and served to provide a sweet and sour flavor to other foods.
Known varieties include; 'Walla Walla', 'Vidalia' and 'Mauri'.[1]
