Latin Allium cepa
The White Sweet Spanish onion is a large, mild, and slightly sweet onion variety known for its crisp texture and versatile flavour. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it a favourite among gardeners and commercial growers. This long-day onion variety produces large, globe-shaped bulbs with smooth white skin, perfect for fresh salads, grilling, or sautéing. With a relatively short storage life, it’s best enjoyed fresh for its juicy and mild taste.
Growing White Sweet Spanish onions requires full sun and well-drained, nutrient-rich soil for optimal bulb development. Plant seeds or sets in early spring, spacing them 4-6 inches apart in rows 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper growth. These long-day onions need consistent watering to prevent dryness but should not be overwatered to avoid rot. Harvest when the tops begin to fall over, and enjoy them fresh, as they have a shorter storage life than other onion varieties. Matures in 100-120 days.
