The Difference Between Yellow and White Onions Is More Than Skin Deep

5. I knew there was that

But there are some interesting differences in cuisine, too. For instance, according to Pati Jinich, my favorite Mexican chef, white onions are her preferred cooking onion and that of many Mexican cooks. That may be because they are more commonly grown in Mexico and thus more available, or just perhaps more available in her home state of Oaxaca. Red onions, which you do not touch on, are more commonly used in Indian cooking and are my favorite. To each their own.
