When selecting onions, look for firm, heavy bulbs without soft spots or blemishes. The skin should be dry and papery, indicating freshness. Choose onions with a smooth surface and avoid those with green shoots, as they can affect flavor. Yellow onions are versatile for cooking, while red onions are great for salads due to their mild sweetness. If you prefer sweet onions, such as Vidalia or Walla Walla, ensure they are slightly larger and have a glossy appearance. Always store onions in a cool, dry place to maintain their quality.
