Sweet Onions

Sweet Onions

EverydayFresh

Sweet onions are a mild onion variety characterized by significantly lower pungency and higher natural sugar content compared to standard yellow or white onions. Their reduced sulfur compounds minimize eye irritation during preparation and create a crisp, juicy texture ideal for raw applications like salads and sandwiches. Notable regional varieties including Vidalia (Georgia) and Walla Walla (Washington) develop their distinctive sweetness from specific growing conditions with low sulfur soil.
