Description:
The Allium cepa, known as an Italian heirloom onion, is a unique torpedo-type red onion with a sweet flavor, ideal for roasting and grilling. Its wine-colored, flattened globes measure about 1 inch high and 2 to 3 inches in diameter. This intermediate-day onion is best suited for latitudes 32-42 and is resistant to pink root. It produces large, easy-to-peel bulbs with white flesh and straw-colored skin, yielding up to a pound per bulb. The onion is not recommended for cold climates but thrives in southern states from fall to spring. It is a cross between a shallot and an onion, known in France as Cuisse de Poulet du Poitou, and is recognized for its sweet, mild flavor and resistance to bolting.
