Vidalia onion

Sweet Southern bulb

A Vidalia onion is a sweet onion variety grown in a designated region around Vidalia, Georgia, where the low-sulfur soil produces an exceptionally mild flavor.

Unlike pungent storage onions, Vidalias are prized for eating raw in salads and sandwiches without bringing tears or overpowering other ingredients.

I sliced some Vidalia onion for the burgers.

The name is legally protected, so only onions from the specified Georgia counties can be sold as Vidalias.
