Ethan, please do a butter deep dive. In Belgian cuisine everything is baked with butter rather than (olive) oil. We use a LOT of butter so I really want to know if it's worth buying more expensive brands or not

Pearl onions are harvested after ninety days of growth and don't reach full maturity. Its the same with cipollini onions but pearl onions are either white or red onions while cipollini onions are typically sweet onions. They all are unique cultivars of their respective onions but the main purpose of these onions are to be grown quickly and then stored or preserved. Pickled pearl onions are great.

I’m an Iowa State Master gardener. I grow onions from seed, not sets (just a personal choice), and they’re harvested that year. Onions only need a full biennial cycle to produce seeds, but 2 years are not necessary to produce the onions we eat. Also, there’s a HUGE world of onions you can grow yourself beyond what we can buy in a store. 🙂

I was always curious about that movie Holes, and how the onioms were sweet enough to eat raw. Well I actually discovered they can be! If you pluck one right from the garden before it's had time to sit, it is actually very sweet and tasty! There's definitely an onion taste, but it doesn't burn at all and is not offputting.

The thing is. In Mexico we use white onions because that is the only onion we can buy, or is the cgeapest one. But I have never seen anyone complain or say its not mexican if it doesn't have white onion. Only Americans complain about such a thing.

You blew me away with saying it takes 50-60 mins. I've always done them in 10 minutes! I had no idea people were cooking them much longer. Thank you grandma!

Me, ignorant, before this video started- "I'm gonna learn so much, I love this!" Me at the end of the video- "Bro, what is going on in Libya?"

As an Indian who recently moved to America, I have found that shallots are much closer in flavor to the red onions that we get in India than the red onions that you get here.

For most Malaysian kitchens, we always have a supply of shallots, red onions, and yellow onions. For some dishes, we use all three e.g. using all three in sambal ikan bilis gives the sauce a robust flavor profile. I always just did what my MIL taught me to do but now I kindof understand why.

GIVE ME THE PHD!! Seriously though, I absolutely love these deep dives. There are so many "opinion" videos from very good chefs, but very few actual objective videos. Thanks so much for all the hard work, it is much appreciated!

Gardener here who has grown a lot of onions. To answer question Pearl Onions, Cipollinis, and Baby Onions are different things. Pearl onions are, almost always, a different species from your regular onion. Sometimes baby onions are labeled pearl onions but this is not true. Pearl Onions have the scientific classification name Allium Ampeloprasum and a "regular onion" have the name Allium Cepa. Pearl onions do not grow much bigger if grown into the second season. They at least do not grow to the size of a regular onion. Cipollinis are a specific variety of onion. Baby Onions are just normal onions. All three onions are harvested right after the first season so the right answer is A.

I kind of enjoy the irony that these plants developed sulfur compounds to deter them from being eaten so that they can survive - and then humans came around and thought they tasted delicious and decided to propagate them. They became evolutionarily successful by doing the exact opposite of what they intended.

As a Libyan I can confirm we eat a hell of a lot of onions. Basically 90% of Libyan dishes (at least the ones I cook) starts with onions garlic and tomato. We even have a dish called "onion" in Arabic or 'Busla'. It's like a tomatoey, onion-based sauce you can put on rice or pasta and it's DELICIOUS. Basically everything is a variation of the same onion sauce with maybe different spices lol. Anything you can think of (beans, fish, okra, meat, other veggies, etc.) is cooked in an onion and tomato-based sauce.

Pearl onions, along with Cipollini and Baby onions, represent small onion varieties specifically cultivated for their size through certain agricultural practices. They are typically grown from sets, which are immature onion bulbs. These sets are planted and harvested within a single growing season, usually before they can grow into full-sized onions. The cultivation process involves planting the onion sets closely together in dense patterns. This method of planting restricts the space each onion has to expand, thereby limiting the size of the bulb that each plant can produce. This agricultural technique is key to ensuring the onions do not grow beyond a desired small size. Additionally, the timing of the planting and harvesting is crucial. These onion varieties are often harvested earlier than traditional onions, which also contributes to their smaller size. For instance, while a typical onion might be left in the ground to mature fully, these small varieties are pulled much sooner to maintain their petite scale. This type of cultivation is used not only to achieve specific sizes but also to manage the yield of crops more effectively. By controlling the size and harvest time, farmers can produce these onions more quickly and efficiently, fitting multiple growing cycles into a single growing season if conditions allow. This makes Pearl, Cipollini, and Baby onions popular choices for growers aiming for fast crop rotation and efficient use of space.
