Bermuda onions

Bermuda onions are a type of sweet onion, characterized by their large size, somewhat flattened shape, and pale yellow to light brown skin. Their flavor is milder and less pungent than other onion varieties, making them ideal for eating raw in salads, sandwiches, or as a side in various culinary preparations.

The origin of Bermuda onions is found in the Bermuda Islands, although today they are primarily cultivated in regions with warm and temperate climates, such as California and parts of Latin America. Their cultivation has expanded due to the demand for sweet, juicy-textured onions.

Regarding their properties, Bermuda onions contain antioxidants, vitamins C and B6, and minerals such as potassium and manganese. Additionally, they are low in calories and provide dietary fiber, which contributes to good digestion and overall health.

Synonyms in Spanish from Latin America include cebolla dulce (sweet onion), cebolla amarilla dulce (sweet yellow onion), and, in some countries, simply cebolla blanca grande (large white onion). However, the term "Bermuda onion" is especially recognized in regions where this variety is common in the market.
