Fresh (or "spring") onions are freshly harvested, and mellower and sweeter than cured storage onions.
Storage
Fresh onions will keep in a bag in your fridge for 1-2 weeks.
Cooking Tips
You can slice fresh onions lengthwise (with greens attached) and grill or roast them. They’re perfect for salsas. Try them thinly sliced, macerated (marinated) in vinegar or lemon and then added to salads. Fresh onions are wonderful sauteed with summer squash, made into a summer squash casserole, or baked in a savory vegetable galette (alongside summer squash, kale, chard, or fennel).
