Onions are incredibly versatile and each cuisine has its own rules regarding the treatment of onions. Yellow onions are the most common cooking onions and have the strongest flavor. White onions have a sharp fresh taste and red onions are slightly milder and crisper.
Onions are the chief commercial vegetable of the bulb crops. They have been cultivated from the earliest times (for at least 7,000 years), their geographic origin is uncertain but it is believed they originate somewhere from Central Asia. Some ancient records of using onions span western and eastern Asia with likely domestication worldwide.
Closely allied to the onion are several other bulb vegetables, including garlic, shallots, leeks, and chives, all of which are used more extensively for flavoring dishes than for any other purpose.
