This variety pack of Red, Gold and White Pearl onions offers a choice of onion flavors in one convenient clamshell.

Gold Pearls are the most aromatic and pungent of the three, best for cooking whole. The White pearl has a much milder flavor that supports without overpowering a dish. Red Pearls are mildly sweet, so great raw in a salad. Cooking an onion diminishes its flavor, but increases the flavor of the foods around it.

Pearl onions are easily peeled; drop in boiling water for 3 minutes, transfer quickly to an ice-water bath, drain, trim the root end off and, with a gentle squeeze, pop the outer layer of the onion right off.

Using these pearl onions is a breeze. For cooking whole, Gold Pearls are a great choice due to their strong aroma and pungency. White Pearls are wonderful for dishes where you want a milder onion flavor that doesn’t overpower. Red Pearls can be enjoyed raw in salads because of their mild sweetness. When it comes to peeling, simply follow these steps: put them in boiling water for 3 minutes, then quickly move them to an ice-water bath. Drain the water, trim the root end, and with a gentle squeeze, the outer layer will come off easily. Remember, cooking the onions will change their flavor but enhance the taste of the foods they’re cooked with. They’re available year-round, so you can enjoy them whenever you like.
