“Of all the onions, there is none so valued (at least around the holidays) as the Pearl, hence the precious name. Their mild sweetness and crisp, succulent texture is coveted by cooks, who use them creamed, glazed, roasted, pickled or added to soups or casseroles. And peeling them is as simple as well… as following these steps: dunk them in boiling water for 1 min; drain; drop in ice water; cut of root ends; pinch & the onion skins slip right off. And speaking of the value of Mixed Pearl Onions, we’re selling 16 oz. bags for $2.49.” – image and description from traderjoes.com
