Sweeten Up Your Dishes with Candy Onions

Candy onions, grown right here in the Shenandoah Valley by our horse-and-buggy Mennonite neighbors, are a delicious twist on the classic onion. These mild, sweet onions are perfect for those who find regular onions a bit too strong.

What Makes Candy Onions Special?

Candy onions are a hybrid of regular onions and sweet onion varieties. This unique combination results in a higher sugar content, making them less pungent and more enjoyable to eat raw. Their sweetness also shines through when cooked, adding a delightful depth of flavor to your favorite dishes.
