You will receive 80-100 red onion sets (12 ounces) ready for planting. This onion also called Allium cepa is a red variety in the Amaryllidaceae family. Red onions are often used in salads, curries, pickles, and roasts adding their slightly spicy flavor and beautiful brandy-wine color to an endless possibility of dishes. Onions are thought to originate from Asia and are currently grown all over the world for their delicious easy-to-grow bulbs. Red onions contain vitamin C, fiber, iron, and calcium as well as antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties which add to overall health. Onions also have a long shelf life so they don't take up space in your fridge and are able to be enjoyed for several weeks or even months. Planting onions from seed is a great option, but seeds can take 6-8 weeks just to germinate. Using our onion sets saves you time and guarantees a harvest!
