5 ponds of delicious, sweet Vidalia onions grown less than a mile from our Collins store!

Vidalia onions are a sweet, mild variety of onion from Georgia, known for their low sulfur content, which makes them less pungent and great for eating raw in salads, sandwiches, and dips, as well as for cooking in dishes like onion rings, quiches, and caramelized toppings. They have a short season (April to August) and a high water content, requiring specific storage to maintain freshness.
Flavor and characteristics
  • Sweet and mild: They have a high sugar content and a less sharp, pungent flavor than other onions.
  • Low sulfur: The low-sulfur soil in Georgia is what gives them their unique sweetness and makes them less tear-inducing.
  • Distinctive shape: They often have a flat, squat shape.

How to use them

  • Raw: Excellent in salads, on sandwiches, burgers, and hot dogs, or in salsas.
  • Cooked: Great for onion rings, caramelized for burgers, roasted as a side, or added to quiches, stir-fries, and pasta dishes.
  • Dips: A popular base for creamy onion dips.  

Season and storage

  • Season: Available fresh from April to August.
  • Storage: Due to high water content, store them individually wrapped in paper towels in the refrigerator's crisper drawer or in a cool, dry place on a rack, away from potatoes.
