Onions ... dehydrated forms. Onions can be used, usually chopped or sliced, in almost every type of food, including cooked foods and fresh salads, and as a spicy garnish; they are rarely eaten on their own but usually act as accompaniment to the main course. Depending on the variety, an onion can be sharp and pungent or mild and sweet. Onions pickled in vinegar are eaten as a snack. These are often served as a side serving in fish and chip shops throughout Britain. Onions are a staple food in India, and are therefore fundamental to Indian cooking. They are commonly used as a base for curries, or made into a paste and eaten as a main course or as a side dish.

... expensive versions when it is same thing, its just onions, i dont see the reason behind having such expensive other brands. Basics onions taste the same as other ones, the only difference is that thay are a bit smaller, this dosent make a difference at all, You are supposed to sut them any ways, and ny ways I think smaller ones are easier. I am a big fan of onions and they are includeed in almost all dishes I make, It just seems stupid to spend so much more money or buying exactly th esame thing, especially if you us...more

Onions: Chopping onions a remedy for dry eyes? (185 words)

Take a couple of fresh onions and take your time to chop them up finely while those tears give your eyes a bit of a natural wash thus helping to remedy dry eyes or sore eyes. Even better, drink a glass or two of water about half an hour beforehand so your tears will be purer perhaps. Yesterday I was chopping onions for the tea and thinking to myself I need to buy more eyewash although I couldn't be bothered going to the supermarket for it on a Sunday afternoon. My eyes were feeling dry and a little sore and normally I use some sort of eyewash day to day to keep them moist. After about 15 minutes washing then chopping onions on the chopping board, my eyes ... Read the complete review

People often stop me in the street and say “ Senior Proudfoot why are your onions so lush and textured?” To which I reply “ That I cannot tell you for it is a secret carried down from father to son of the Proudfoot clan”. This was my stock answer for many years, but time has conspired against me and I am now the last male left in the Proudfoot clan and I have no one left to pass the arcane knowledge to. The secrets of a great onion growing that follow must be read carefully and followed strictly to the letter. If you do not follow them untold tragedy may fall on you and your ancestors. I do not have time to tell you what happened to the ... Read the complete review

Onions: Knowing your onions (405 words)

There are very few Sainsbury's Basics products that I like, but the Basics cooking onions are well worth buying. I use quite a few onions in cooking every week, but when I was recently asked to make a large quantity of French Onion Soup I realised it would be expensive to buy all the onions I would need from the grocer and this is how I discovered this bargain in Sainsbury's. They come in a clear plastic bag and from first glance you'll see these onions are quite small compared to the huge cooking onions you can buy from the grocer. This doesn't really matter however as most recipes call for onions to be chopped or sliced and the only dish I can imagine ... Read the complete review

* Introduction: Writing reviews on onions seems to be "the" thing to do right now, so I decided to hop aboard the bandwagon and write me own. I quickly discovered that it is not as easy as one might think. There is so much you can write about onions that it's hard to know where to begin. I hope you enjoy reading my attempt and that you find it useful. Any questions - Just ask. * Meet the Allium Family: Allium is the name given to the onion genus. There is a staggering amount of spices in the genus, over 1250! The onion genus is of the Alliaceae family although it was wrongly classified by Botanists for ... Read the complete review
