Organic Yellow Onions

Organic yellow onions are a variety of onion grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. They are a bulb vegetable that grows underground and are a staple in cuisines worldwide. After harvesting, they are typically cleaned and sorted before packaging.

Yellow onions are primarily used for their savory flavor and aroma in a wide variety of dishes. They act as a foundational ingredient in soups, stews, sauces, and casseroles, and are often sautéed or caramelized to enhance their sweetness. They are also used as a fresh ingredient in salads and sandwiches.

Yellow onions are a source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recognizes onions as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for their intended use as food. International bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated onions and their components, generally finding them safe for consumption at typical dietary levels. Research suggests potential benefits from compounds found in onions, but more studies are needed.
