Lal Peyaj (Red Onion Imported) 1kg

The red onion is one of the many staple ingredients in every cuisine today. The scientific term for red onion is Allium Cepa. Red onions have a skin with a purple and red mixed colour. This skin, though not included when you’re cooking the onion, is being used by manufacturers as a dye for fabric productions. Unlike its relative varieties of yellow and white onions – the red onion is the kind that contains a powerful chemical agent that can irritate your tear ducts.

The red onion, though not directly related, is more similar to shallots. It is the essential ingredient that gives any dish a kick of spiciness. For salads, you can interchangeably use onion and shallots as they both taste sweet and spice, but only with different intensities.
