Welcome to the home of CipolliniOnions.com - "Cipollini Onions"About the getting popular and good tasting Cipollini Onions (pronounced chip-ohh-lee-nee). Cipollini onions (also known as Cipolline Onions) are flat-shaped interesting looking semi-sweet white onions (with an occasional hint of green or purple on the inside) and have a thin onion skin, which is yellowish to light brown. The cipollini onion is considered somewhat of an exotic food but becoming more mainstream as time goes by. Cipollini's have a semi-sweet taste and in our opinion it's also a nice mild flavor and good taste. The sweetness is somewhat less than shallots' and similar to red onions and vidalia onions but a bit milder. They contain more sugar vs white, green, spring or yellow onions, but like all onion varieties cipolline's are comparatively very low in calories, plus are a good tasting, healthy and nutritious food. Cipollini onions are small (mostly 1 to 3 inches wide) with a flat looking shape, which disk-like look is helpful for roasting and cooking, such as used as a pizza topping for example. Cipollini is also good cut into thin strips in salads and on sandwiches. CipolliniOnions slice very well and cleanly. Unlike most garden variety onions cipollini's do not easily fall apart when sliced, when cut raw or cooked. The cipolini onion mildness combines with its sweetness making Cipollinis a nice recipe addition instead of high calorie and too sweet tasting caramelized onions. Cipollini onions which come from the Farm Direct of course are always fresh tasting and good. However, at times and depending on location, cipollini-onions may be a bit difficult to find in stores since they are less common at the retail and supermarket level. However, we have found these unique and excellent tasting onions at natural food kind of stores and often sold at Trader Joe's stores, who sell cipollini onions already peeled in the fresh vegetable refrigerator section. The Trader Joe's store plastic bag say's Cipollini Onions have a "sweet, delicate flavor for use in soups, stews and casseroles, or try roasting and enjoyable as a side-dish." Trader Joe's also reports they are real low in calories at 30 calories per serving, with 7g of Carbohydrates, 1g dietary fiber and 5g sugar and containing 10% of daily recommended Calcium needs which is good considering serving size is just 2.5 ounces. If you have trouble finding Cipollini Onions in grocery stores we suggest you buy Cipollini Onion Seeds and grow them yourself, They grow fairly easily and do not need a lot of light or fertilizer. Cipollinis may also be grown indoors near a south or southwest facing kitchen window, or using a fluorescent plant grow light. In fact, it is good to start the onion seedlings sprouting and growing indoors. When the cipollinis' start to increase growth move them outdoors early in the growing season.
