Onions are loaded with sugars, and have the sweetest taste when they have been caramelized. The inherent sweetness of caramelized onions is what makes French Onion Soup so delicious and rich tasting. Other uses of caramelized onions are in French Onion Dips, Roast beef recipes, and in almost any recipe that calls for "cooked onions". You'll find that caramelized onions will add a depth of flavor to your recipes that can be achieved by no other means. The process of caramelizing onions is quick, easy, and subtle. It can also be a source of frustration for new cooks. I prefer yellow onions: they are very forgiving. However, try different onion varieties to see what works in your cooking style. Some of these varieties include the whites, the Vidalia, the Bermuda, and the Mayan Sweet onions. These varieties have a high sugar content and caramelize easily. White onions have a more subtle character and may have to be handled differently. Common red onions are harsher in taste
