ELEANORA'S
TIPS: CIPOLLINI
Cipollini
are rare bitter onions sold in specialty stores or markets. Price can
range from 4.99 to 6.99 per pound
When choosing cipollini, look for those that are slightly larger, with
no signs of decay or mildew. The outer skins should be pinkish-coral,
and the tips should be intact. The bottom of the cipollini should have
absolutely no signs of aging or spotting. They should feel heavy in weight.
If they're light in weight, they're not fresh enough. Also, if you see
a white stem-a sprout--emerging from the tip, the cipollini are not as
fresh as they should be they can still be used. As cipollini age, each
outer skin will start to shed. Fresh cipollini have tight skins.
