YELLOW ONION JUMBO (SAMPLE)

~5 lbs (Approximate weight) Yellow Onion Jumbo aka "Brown Onion", "Spanish Onion", "All-Purpose Onion", "Huang-Yang-Cong", "黃洋葱", "黃洋蔥" Yellow onion is usually round with light brown, pale golden papery skin, and greenish-white flesh. It has a pungent flavor when raw, but becomes sweeter the longer it cooks. Yellow onion is ideal for caramelizing and building a base flavor for soup and sauce. Yellow onion is available year-round. Handling Tip Selection Yellow onion is firm and heavy for its size. The papery skin is moist and without bruises. Avoid yellow onion that is sprouting. Storage The yellow onion should be stored at 32°F (0°C) with a relative humidity of sixty-five to seventy-five percent and no mist. Short term storage of seven days or less can be under 60°F - 65°F (16°C - 18°C) with a relative humidity of eighty-five to ninety-five percent and no mist. The typical shelf life is six to nine months. Low temperature and low relative humidity are keys to longer shelf life. Hi
