The yellow onion or brown onion (Allium cepa L.[1][2]) is a variety of dry onion with a strong flavour. It is yellow-white inside, with a brown papery exterior.
The yellow onion is higher in sulphur content than the white onion, which gives it a stronger, more complex flavour.[3][4]
A dozen varieties of yellow onion are grown, following the time of year. They vary in nutritional content, but they do contain quercetin (a flavonol).[1]
Yellow onions are typically available throughout the year,[5] grown between spring and fall, and then stored for the rest of the year.[5] They are the most commonly grown onions in northern Europe,[2] and make up 90% of onions grown in the United States.[5] They should be stored at cool room temperature in a dark place. Longer-term storage requires them to be wrapped in paper and placed in a refrigerator. Cut or peeled onions also need to be stored in plastic in the refrigerator, but they will last only a few days.[5]
They have a rich onion taste and are fit for dishes such as French onion soup, other soups, stews and braises, sautéed dishes, and shish kebabs.[3] They can become sticky and sweet when caramelized.[5]
