There are a few of them under that colour. Also one is available here as pickled onion. Please see under this.
""Description
These are also well known as Safes Kanda or Safed Pyaaz. These popular cooking onions are often used, since they have a cleaner, tangier flavor than yellow onions.
Grated white onion
Peel the initial papery layer and then wash it thoroughly. To grate the white onion, rub it against a grater. These shreds will range in size according to size of the holes in the grater. It can be grated thinly or thickly using a grater as required by the recipe. ""

Sorry but these are not the ones I am refering to. I think they come from Gujarat and are nose shaped or bell shaped and are juicy and white. there is no peeling or cooking needed and you can eat them just like a fruit. The have hair coming out of the bottom like nose hair and they are not round. I canont find on the internet as I dont know what its called I had seen those lasttime at Subzi mandi on Gore! Thanks
