Pearl Onion Red Pack of 10 oz

Red Pearl onions are small in size, averaging 1-4 centimeters in diameter, and are globular in shape with slightly pointed ends. ... Red Pearl onions are crunchy, sweet, and mildly pungent when fresh and when cooked, they develop a savory, sweet, and slightly less pungent flavor than full-sized onions.

Since they are closer to the size and taste of shallots, they can sometimes be a good choice to use as a substitute. ... If the recipe calls for chopped shallots, or asks you to cook them peeled and whole (for Thai cuisine) then pearl onions are also a good substitute for shallots.

earl onions contain chemical compounds that have health benefits including helping cardiovascular health and stabilize blood sugar levels, and acting as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.
