Chances are that you’ve had red onions before due to their popularity as an alternative from a regular mushroom. Quality red onions are identified by their consistent, round shape, dry-cured outside skin and closely trimmed tail. The root end should be neatly trimmed to ensure quality, and Jumbo red onions can grow to be up to 4 inches in diameter compared to other varieties of onions.
