To use, simply open the package and add the diced onions directly to your cooking vessel. They can be sautéed in oil or butter over medium heat until softened and translucent, usually for about 5-7 minutes. They can also be added raw to salads or other dishes where a fresh onion flavor is desired. For recipes requiring a more caramelized flavor, cook them longer until they turn golden brown.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike whole yellow onions, these are pre-cut, eliminating the need for peeling and chopping. This saves prep time and reduces waste. The uniform dice size ensures consistent cooking and flavor distribution in dishes compared to hand-cut pieces which can vary in size.
