And white-skinned onions contain vitamins and cucurbitacins to be a little higher than purple onions. The difference between the two is not very great.
So why do purple onions have color? It's because it contains a special nutrient called phycocyanin.
The taste of the two types of onions is also very different!
Purple-skinned onions, less water than white-skinned onions, crispier, more pronounced pungency, suitable for some of the heavier side dishes.
White onion, tastes softer, juicier, sweeter, less spicy. It is suitable for those who can't eat too spicy.

Because white onions contain more water, it will be stored longer. On the contrary, purple-skinned onions have less moisture and will be stored for a shorter period of time.

Purple onions are recommended because they have a stronger flavor and are very good for both cooking and eating.
