What is Red onion?
Red/purple-skinned onion with red-ringed white flesh, milder and sweeter than yellow onions with a sharp raw bite. Sold by 25 lb sack or in 2 lb consumer bags.
Sliced raw on burgers, tacos, bagels and Greek salads, pickled bright pink for taquerias and Yucatecan dishes, and the standard for color on sandwich and salad lines. The go-to raw onion when you want color and a softer bite.

Why the number moves
NYC produce runs through the high-volume houses that feed Hunts Point and the wider metro — California, Florida, Mexico, and Northeast farms when they're in season. That's why a case rate on red onion can shift week to week.
Across the year the trend has been up (up about 23% over the last month). Buying what's in season is still the most reliable way to keep produce cost in check.
Per case or per pound?
Produce is sold by the case, with a per-pound rate shown where it helps you compare. Order on the unit that matches your prep so you're not throwing money out on shrink — perishables don't wait.
Want firm bulbs with dry, papery skin and no soft necks or sprouting. Store dry and cool, not refrigerated. For raw service, a quick water soak takes the harsh edge off.
