Besides being famous for their taste, Walla Walla Sweet Onions deliver 27% biotin and a host of vitamins and minerals that benefit the cardiovascular system, bone and connective tissue. Eating onions can also help reduce the risk of several types of cancer – including colorectal, laryngeal and ovarian. Walla Walla Sweet Onions can be incorporated into nearly any savory dish – either raw or cooked. Try this tangy way to enjoy them atop salads, in sandwiches or on a deli tray.
