Gold Pearl onions are small, averaging 1-4 centimeters in diameter, and are globular in shape with slightly pointed ends. The petite bulb is covered in a light brown-gold, thin, papery, parchment that easily flakes off when touched. Underneath the skin, there is a brown single storage leaf, like garlic, and the flesh is white, almost translucent with layers of thin rings. The flesh is firm, juicy, and crisp. Gold Pearl onions are crunchy and mild developing a savory, sweet, and slightly less pungent flavor than full-sized onions when cooked.
Gold Pearl onions are best suited for both raw and cooked applications such as roasting and pickling. Gold Pearl onions can be incorporated into stews, casseroles, and braises, used to flavor soups and stocks, and served alone, or added to roasted meats and vegetables as a hearty side dish. When pickled, Gold Pearl onions can be added to salads, garnished on cocktails, or served on appetizer plates. Gold Pearl onions pair well with parsley, basil, potatoes, green beans, peas, beets, turnips, tomatoes, paprika, meats such as poultry, turkey, veal, steak, and white fish, goat, and cheddar.
The bulbs will keep 1-2 months when stored in a cool, dry, and dark place with good air circulation. If sliced, the remaining pieces will keep up to four days when wrapped in plastic and stored in the refrigerator.
