White pearl onions are quoted at $28.00 / 12/8OZ case in the week of October 5, 2026. That is the lowest wholesale quote we recorded that week from the single New York distributor we track — not a market average, and not an official terminal quotation. The quote covers one 12/8OZ case, the unit the supplier invoices; we never divide it by a weight to publish a price per pound.

What is in the case
The supplier states no weight for the 12/8OZ pack, so we quote it as a pack and publish no price per pound for it. That is a limit of the source, and the reason our figure stays comparable from one week to the next: a per-pound price built on an assumed case weight moves whenever the assumption does. White pearl onions are quoted in two pack sizes this week, from $15.00 for the 6CT to $28.00 for the 12/8OZ. The quotes are not comparable per pound — the supplier does not publish a weight for every pack — so we list them side by side rather than ranking them.

About White pearl onions
White pearls are the default of the pearl onion family — the version used in classic braises, in creamed preparations and anywhere the onion is meant to disappear into the dish rather than stand out in it. The flesh cooks to translucent white, which is the reason it is chosen over the red for cream sauces and pale stews where a purple ring would look like a mistake. It comes in the same multi-unit case format as the red, which makes the two directly comparable on the shelf.
Buying notes
This is the pearl to carry as the standing item if only one is held, since it works in every application the red does and in several where the red does not. Skin on, it keeps well, so it is the allium on this list least likely to be lost to a slow week — check for sprouting rather than for softness as the sign a case is aging.
