One of the smallest varieties of onion is the pearl onion that has a crunchy texture and delightfully sweet taste. Pearl onions are sometimes called button onions, baby onions, or creamers.
Pearl onions are from the same Allium genus as onions but are a cultivar of Allium ampeloprasum which means they are more closely related to leeks.

Pearl onions usually only measure between 2 ' 3 cm and have firm white flesh. Unlike common onions, pearl onions don't have such a pungent flavour or sharp taste. The small onion bulbs are surrounded by a thin white skin.

White onions are commonly used in many dishes. Because of their relatively mild flavour, white onions are a good type of onion to use if the recipe calls for raw onions.
