- Yellow Onion Jumbo aka "Brown Onion", "Spanish Onion", "All-Purpose Onion", "Huang-Yang-Cong", "黃洋葱", "黃洋蔥"
- Yellow onion is usually round with light brown, pale golden papery skin, and greenish-white flesh. It has a pungent flavor when raw, but becomes sweeter the longer it cooks. Yellow onion is ideal for caramelizing and building a base flavor for soup and sauce. Yellow onion is available year-round.
Handling Tip
Selection
- Yellow onion is firm and heavy for its size.
- The papery skin is moist and without bruises.
- Avoid yellow onion that is sprouting.
Storage
- The yellow onion should be stored at 32°F (0°C) with a relative humidity of sixty-five to seventy-five percent and no mist. Short term storage of seven days or less can be under 60°F - 65°F (16°C - 18°C) with a relative humidity of eighty-five to ninety-five percent and no mist.
- The typical shelf life is six to nine months. Low temperature and low relative humidity are keys to longer shelf life. Higher temperature induces sprouting while higher relative humidity induces root growth. A combination of higher temperature and high relative humidity increases rotting and decreases quality.
- Yellow onion is an odor producer and should not be stored with odor-sensitive products.
- Yellow onion is sensitive to sunlight. For best quality, keep onions in a dark area without sunlight. When exposed to sunlight, yellow onions may develop green spots.
- Yellow onion has a low level of sensitivity to ethylene, a naturally occurring gas that regulates ripening. High concentrations of ethylene will encourage sprouting in yellow onions. Yellow onion produces a very low level of ethylene.
- Yellow onion is not sensitive to chilling injury and can be stored at 27°F - 28°F (-3°C to -2°C). Storage at below 25°F (-4°C) may cause freezing injury. The freezing injury symptom is present in water-soaked spots.
