Onions add a full-bodied flavor that cannot be duplicated with any other vegetable. The Italians made it popular in Italian cooking, and onions have been used for centuries in every culture to add the perfect flavor and texture to almost any meal. Living in the heart of Washington brings great appreciation for sweet Walla Walla onions. All varieties of the onion are distinct in shape, size, color, and flavor, and all have their own appeal. The most common type of onion commercially produced is the yellow onion. Delicious onions are versatile, nutritious, and always add a special flair to many dishes, whether used in cakes, pies and breads, in preserves, as a salad ingredient, in wines or brandies, or any number of other imaginative ways.
