Onions

Under the local name obutungulu, Uganda red onions (Allium cepa) are some of the essential pungent crops for cooking. They appear red on the outer skin with tinges of purplish-white in the ringed interior. They are average-sized, being neither small nor large although some types have purely large types. The most common red variety in Uganda is the Red Creole. This market staple with its deliciously pungent smell with mild tasting results commands the kitchen because of its longevity.
