• People like to cook with onions because they enhance the flavor of food.

(enhance = improve)

• Some onions are red. The tops of the onion can be used in cooking.

• Green onions (the green part) are sometimes preferred because they have a mild flavor.

• Onions are chopped or sliced before they are used for cooking.

• You can saute onions in butter or oil.

• Some onions are strong. They are so strong, they can make a person cry.

• Onions have layers or rings.

• We rarely eat onions raw (uncooked) or by themselves, but they make a very good soup. Have you ever had French onion soup?
