Why Do Some Onions Taste Bitter?
It’s because Onion can taste awful or bitter when diced and then are exposed to the air for a while. After about 30 minutes, it’s starting developing a strong bitter taste (oxidization). To avoid this bitterness, do cook them immediately. High heat should never be used to cook onions, because it causes bitterness as well.
