STORAGE ONIONS ALMOST DONE

VEGUCATION
Written By Susan Simitz

Storage onions are almost done, and we are looking to imports to finish out the season. Onions will be very tight for April, and we will see gaps on red and white onions. It is uncertain to when onions from Mexico will be available. Storage yellow and sweet onions continue out of the Pacific Northwest a little longer. California will start up with new crop onions in May.

The California season historically starts up by early May down south in ​Brawley/ El Centro and moves its way up north into the Bakersfield area.  The new California crop is barely cured. This means they will not have the hard exterior skin seen in peak season onions from up north. The skin will likely be shaggy and flaky. There are benefits to fresh crop product! They are sweeter, far less pungent and there are no issues with sprouting.

Stay tuned for more updates as the onion season evolves.
