    The "red" onion
    The onion is PURPLE!


    How come its called Red :(

    This always bothered me but if there's a real reason I would like to know! Haha.

    I love purple onions though. They taste so good. Especially with Balsamic vinegar, anywhoo.


    Are they called Red for a reason?

    Probably because they're not white or yellow.. And it flows slightly better to say red onion than purple onion.
    But, actually, I've seen them look closer to red than purple.

    I agree with capin, esp. when they are diced or cut up to me they look more red.
