Eye catching red to purple, paper skin covers the firm, pink-tinged white flesh of these onions and their delectable crunch. This onion is definitely at its tastiest when sliced thin and eaten raw. Terrific for sandwiches, wraps and salads! Try them on the grill, too, with thick sliced wedges placed directly over the heat. When planted in rich, loamy or sandy well-drained soil in full sunlight, you'll produce large, flattened globes with deep purple skin and a strong flavor. 85 days to maturity from sets.
