About Baby bulb onion
Baby bulb onions are pulled young, with the bulb barely formed and the green top still attached, and they are used whole — grilled, glazed, roasted — where a mature onion would be cut up and disappear into the dish. They are sold by case weight and that weight includes the tops, so the usable bulb is a fraction of what is bought. This is a plate item, not a pantry item.
Buying notes
Judge the delivery on the greens, which wilt long before the bulb does, and cost the case on trimmed bulbs rather than on gross weight. A case goes a long way in service and does not keep like a storage onion, so order it against a menu.
