Know Your Onions

Capping its 20th year of producing its signature sweet onions, producer OSO Sweet is gearing up for the availability of its new Peruvian onion, which is nearly ready for harvest and will be available from September through December. OSO Sweet parent the Saven Corp. has extended the growing season an additional three months due to demand, placing the OSO Sweet brand in U.S. stores for more than nine months of the year. In addition to South America, Texas is also an ideal growing area that offers the same size, taste and quality as Peru, according to the brand. Available in 40-pound jumbo, 40-pound colossal and 40-pound medium varieties, OSO Sweets of Peru can be ordered through national sales agent John Battle at 231-946-9696 or [email protected].
