Onion (Red Table, 500g)500g = 2 3 onions Red onions are encased in a beautiful deep red to purple paper skin. Inside, their crisp and sweet white flesh is edged with colour. It's this colour that brings life to salads, salsas, and other raw preparations. Although more mild than other types of onions, if you find their raw flavour too intense, soak them in water for a few minutes before using.
