About Peeled red pearl onion
The peeled red pearl is the version of the pearl onion bought for colour: the flesh carries a pink-to-purple ring that survives light cooking, which is why it turns up in salads, pickles and garnishes rather than buried in a stew where the colour would be wasted. Peeling is what makes the item viable at all — a pearl onion is too small to peel by hand at service volume. Against the white pearl it is a visual choice first; the flavour difference is slight and disappears entirely under long cooking.
Buying notes
Buy the red only where the colour shows on the plate, since it costs more to produce than the white and the difference vanishes in a braise. Peeled and packed in a bag rather than a tray, it is the pearl format that needs watching for moisture at the bottom of the pack — that is where a case starts to turn.
