      “vitlök” - garlic

      “vit lök” - “white onion”

        We use white onions for Mexican food here in the US. I guess it’s obscure enough that they aren’t used in Europe. Not a huge taste difference between white and yellow onions.

            There’s nothing wrong with using red onions. It’s just not usually what the recipe calls for in Mexican dishes.

            Many Mexican dishes are improved by adding pickled onions, and red onions are best for that. They make lovely pink brine with pink pickled onions.
