Organic Rossa di Milano Onion

Allium cepa
Description
HEIRLOOM We first fell in love with Rossa’s high shoulders, tapered heart shape and of course her rich and glorious color; we continue to grow Organic Rossa di Milano Onion for her remarkable flavor. The sweetest onion we grow, Rossa is our favorite onion for raw salsa and guacamole. We enjoy her grilled, sauteed and indeed any way we enjoy onions. Rossa di Milano is also an exceptionally long storage onion, easily accompanying us through the long winters.

Nice and sweet, and fun to grow. They were a little on the small side for me, but I think that had more to do with my soil than anything (plus it was my first time growing onions). I will definitely grow these again.

You are spot on! Their size is totally dependent on the environment that they are in 🙂 I hope you will give them another try and so glad that you enjoyed their flavor! Don’t hesitate to reach out anytime!-Heather & The Fruition Crew
