Walla Walla Onion - The World's Best-tasting Onion

Light brown skin, white flesh with a very mild and sweet flavor. A very cold hardy northern, long day onion that rivals the Vidalia onion. Hardy to -10ºF. This sweet onion was developed over several generations through the process of carefully hand selecting onions from each year’s crop, ensuring exceptional sweetness, jumbo size, and round shape of this traditional Washington sweet onion.

Seeds were brought back from Corsica, Italy to the Walla Walla Valley in Washington State around 1900. Sweet, mild, juicy and delicious as a raw salad onion or anyway you use it!
