3. I was just researching this last week because of raw onions I used for my rice

I used raw yellow onion and cilantro with my rice that I had just room temperature, and the onion was way too sharp, so I looked up the subject. I also discovered recipe for pickled red onions

Red Onion
Sweetness is the red onion’s greatest strength. The sharpness of its flavor and the intensity of its smell are slightly more potent than that of the white onion, but the sugar content is much higher. That natural sweetness makes them a prime candidate for pickling, which we love to do when tacos, pizza, or fried rice are involved. The other obvious draw to a red onion is its color. That deep red hue provides a nice variety in color that other onions don’t.
