Local and Fresh—
Red Onions


       Red onions have always been my go-to allium for topping a bagel or livening up a salad. While I often find red spring or green onions at the farmers markets, the full grown onions were elusive. This year, they have been showing up at farm stands and in CSA boxes, so red onions are our final featured produce.
       Look for firm onions, with dry roots. Store in the refrigerator or air dry and store separated from each other in a cool spot.
       A cut onion will last a week if refrigerated in a sealed container. I try to keep one in the refrigerator ready to cut a slice or two.
       The skins are perfect for dyeing eggs!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To find out what’s fresh in the future,
check the Union Street Farmers Market weekly listing
and go to the individual farm’s websites.

Harvest charts produced by State or Federal entities
often lump North Central Florida in with South Florida
or the entire Southeast, but we have our own seasons.
