What Is Simply Sweet

Pennsylvania Simply Sweet Onions are a regional delicacy prized for their mild, sweet flavor and crisp texture. Grown primarily in the fertile soils of southeastern Pennsylvania, these onions benefit from a unique combination of climate and cultivation techniques that reduce their sulfur content—resulting in less bite and more sweetness.

Their versatility makes them a favorite among home cooks and chefs alike. Whether caramelized to add depth to a dish, sliced raw for a refreshing crunch in salads, or grilled alongside summer vegetables, their flavor shines through without overpowering.
