Our Columbia River Sweets are delicious any way you slice them. They are “certified sweet” by the National Onion Labs extensive certification program. When bitten into, they deliver a burst of sugary sweetness to tempt even the most discriminating palate. They are an incredibly mild onion with an almost fruity finish, perfect on burgers, in salads or to just eat plain!

Sweet onions are uniquely sweet because they contain much higher sugar content and fewer sulfur-containing compounds than regular onions. Sweets also have a much higher water content than most other onions. It’s this combination that gives our Columbia River Sweet Onion its “certified sweet” and “certified super sweet” taste.

Because sweets have higher water and sugar content, they have a shorter storage life than traditional onions. Sweets will keep for 4-6 weeks in a cool, dry pantry.

Utah Onions is pleased to announce its newest sales collaboration with Washington-based grower R.A. Rasmussen & Sons. Utah Onions will now handle all onion sales for the grower’s 400-acres of yellow and red onion crops.

The Granger, Washington farm produces over-winter yellows and reds that are harvested and shipped from the end of June to mid-July, and storage yellows and reds from the first part of August to mid- October. The farm yields approximately one-million, 50-pound bags.

We are very excited and honored to have Rasmussen & Sons as a new growing partner and look forward to helping them reach their sales goals.
