Flavor Profile: White Onion Sets are cherished for their mild and sweet taste, making them an excellent choice for both raw and cooked applications. Their crisp texture is ideal for fresh salads, salsas, and garnishes, while their sweet flavor deepens and enriches when grilled, caramelized, or incorporated into soups and sauces.
Growing and Care: White Onion Sets thrive in full sun and prefer well-drained, fertile soil. They are best planted in early spring, a few weeks before the last frost date, or in fall for a spring harvest in warmer climates. Consistent watering is crucial, especially during the early stages of growth and bulb development. Onion sets are generally low-maintenance but benefit from occasional feeding with a balanced fertilizer. Crop rotation and proper spacing are important to prevent disease and ensure healthy growth.
Harvesting: White Onion Sets are typically ready to harvest when the tops begin to yellow and fall over, usually about 100-120 days after planting. For the best flavor and storage, allow the onions to cure in a dry, well-ventilated area for several weeks after harvesting.
