Red onions should have dry papery skins with no brown discoloration. Choose firm bulbs with even-coloured skins and no signs of sprouting; avoid any that look damp or smell musty.
Red onions are good to eat raw, chopped or sliced into salads, salsas, dressings and marinades, or you can roast them whole.
