Description
Onion 'Sweet Spanish White' (Allium cepa), also known as White Sweet Spanish, is a classic open-pollinated heirloom long-day globe onion celebrated for its impressive size, crisp texture, and mild, sweet flavor. Producing large, round to globe-shaped bulbs that frequently weigh over one pound, it features smooth, papery white outer skins encasing firm, white, juicy inner rings. Carrying a mild, sweet bite with minimal pungent heat, Sweet Spanish White is ideal for fresh slicing on burgers, dicing into fresh salsas, roasting, rings, and short-term cellar storage.
