Sunions tearless sweet onions are hitting retail shelves in mid-November.
“Sunions undergo a certification process unique to the onion category,” Sunions Project Manager Jeff Boettge said. “A sensory panel determines the ship date of Sunions by following a protocol consisting of three separate tests for both flavor and tearlessness. It is not a Sunion until we say it is.”
Sunions are the result of more than three decades of research and development via natural plant breeding methods. They are a long-day sweet onion variety grown domestically in California, Nevada, Utah, and Washington. Unlike other long-day onions, Sunions become sweeter with every added day in storage.
“It’s a unique combination of flavor compounds that contribute to the incredible flavor profile of Sunions which is consistently sweet, mild, and crunchy,” Boettge said. “Sunions maintain a tightly controlled brand promise stating that the onion must be certified both tearless and sweet before shipping to retailers.”
