Reply To: Karpas – is any ha’adoma ok?

With all the mild and sweet varieties of onions, many are edible raw and are used that way – in salads.

Herring comes with marinated onions which although kept longer, are basically raw onions dipped in salt water for an extended period.

Would one minute of raw onion in salt water be shehakol and half hour in salt water be haadoma? Who sets the time limit?!
