Commodity Guides

Onion Varieties Guide

Yellow, red, white and sweet onions, and how buyers usually use each.

The four common groups

Yellow onions carry most volume, reds serve colour-forward uses, whites are common in specific cuisines and processing, and sweets are a seasonal fresh-market item.

Sizing language

Onion orders are usually described by size grade and pack. Confirm both in writing so the pack that arrives matches what the line or shelf expects.
