Notes

Note: Did you know… that there are several varieties of sweet onions? There's the Maui, or Kula, onion, which only grows in the deep-red, volcanic Hawaiian earth; the Georgia Vidalia; the Texas Spring Sweet and Texas 1015 Super Sweet varieties; and, last but not least, the exceptionally sweet Walla Walla variety, grown in Washington State. All of them are exceptionally sweet and flavorful!
