Growth Cycle: Long Day Yellow Sweet Spanish onions require long daylight hours for bulb formation, typically needing 14-16 hours of daylight. They are best suited for regions in the higher latitudes, like the northern U.S. and Canada.
Flavor Profile: These onions are known for their sweet, mild flavor compared to other onion varieties. They have a high sugar content which contributes to their sweetness, making them excellent for caramelizing or eating raw in salads.
Size and Appearance: They grow quite large, often reaching sizes that can exceed 1 pound each. They have a golden-yellow skin with a white or slightly yellow flesh inside. The bulbs are globe-shaped with a firm texture.
Storage: While they are sweet and thus less pungent than storage onions, they don't store as long. They can last for a few months if kept in a cool, dark, well-ventilated place, but they are generally recommended for consumption relatively soon after harvest.
