Candy Onion

Latin Allium cepa

Candy onions are a mild, sweet variety of onion that are known for their smooth, tender texture and low sulfur content, which gives them a sweet, almost sugary flavour. They are often larger in size and have a light golden or pale yellow skin, making them popular for raw applications like salads and sandwiches, as well as for cooking. This variety is particularly prized for its ability to stay sweet without the sharp bite often associated with traditional onions. Candy onions are typically grown in regions with a long, warm growing season and are harvested in late summer or early fall.
