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. |
