PlantFiles: Garden Onion, Edible Onion
Allium cepa 'Yellow Sweet Spanish'

This is a perennial onion event in my garden, and I couldn't do without it. It is a mild tasting onion, the flesh is crisp, and adds a zesty flavor in fresh salads. It is also a nice addition when chopped and sprinkled over bean soup and chili, and perfect when sliced onto home grilled burgers. It also adds a tangy flavor to hot dogs with mustard. This crop was planted early so there was adequate rainfall contributing to larger bulbs. I harvested nine onions on September 1, 2008 with an individual weight of 1lb.+; however, most were well under that weight.

A very good flavored onion. This was one of the best I grew last year. Stores 4-5 months.
