Description

Texas 1015 Sweet Onions are a medium to large varietal and have a round to slightly flattened appearance. The globular bulbs are plump, firm, and heavy with a tapered neck, and the exterior is encased in layers of papery thin skin, sometimes known as scaly leaves. The flesh is typically off-white and has a dense, aqueous, crisp, tender, and succulent consistency. One of the distinct features of Texas 1015 Sweet Onions is its single center flesh and large rings that can be easily separated. This specific trait is intentionally bred into the variety and allows the onions to be utilized quickly in culinary preparations. The bulbs also lack the pungent, irritating chemicals that cause the eyes to water and burn when the flesh is sliced. Texas 1015 Sweet Onions have high sugar and water content, creating a mild and sweet taste with warm, pleasant aromatics.

In addition to vitamins and minerals, Texas 1015 Sweet Onions contain very little pyruvate, which is the substance in onions responsible for their sharp flavor and eye-watering burn.
