Cipollini onions are petite, saucer-shaped, flat bulbed Italian onions which have a uniform attractive appearance. The onions are of a mini size of between 1.5 inches to 2 inches in diameter. Cipollinis are also known as Italian onions or little onions in Italian. The onions have a spicy pungent flavor when raw and sweet flavor when cooked. Cipollinis are used raw or cooked in a variety of culinary dishes including salads, grills and roasts. They are a fairly easy to grow onion crop for many home growers.
