Do You Know Your Onions?

[doctordb]

Why are red onions harder to peel than white ones? Or is it just me?

[Mick-Talbot]

Both colours vary.

[ummmm]

I find them easier.

[woofgang]

me too.

Now that I think about it, they are slightly more difficult to peel. I prefer red onions though.. :)

No diffrence but red ones are sweeter and do not sting your eyes as much.

[ummmm]

That could be why I find them easier, Eddie.

[doctordb]

I prefer red in cold food and white in hot.

It's an allegory for the Russian revolution.

I rarely use red onions as I can't justify the extra expense (I truly don't think they taste that much different) but when I have, I haven't found them noticeably more difficult to peel.

I find that red onions have a thicker 'membrane' between the layers,and every thing seems to stick together a bit.

Don't know: how difficult are you to peel ?
