Prized for its intense color and mild, slightly sweet flavor, it is perfect for eating raw in salads, sandwiches, and burgers. Its flesh is pinkish-white with purple rings, and its skin ranges from deep red to purple. Although it has a slightly shorter shelf life than the yellow onion, it remains a delicious choice in the vegetable garden.
