"Walla Walla sweet onions are known for their sweet and mild flavor. Whether enjoyed raw in salads, grilled, caramelized in savory dishes or used as an addition to recipes, these onions elevate culinary creations," said Ryan Conlon, commodity manager. "We recommend cross-merchandising in the meat department or alongside tomatoes, salads, peppers and squash as an effective strategy in boosting sales."
To ensure the premium quality of every sweet onion, local growers employ traditional cultivation practices handed down through generations. The onion is nurtured and hand-harvested by skilled growers who take pride in their commitment to delivering these sweet onions to market.
