Experience the robust flavor and exceptional storage capabilities of Allium cepa 'Red Creole,' a premium heirloom onion variety perfect for Southern gardens. With a maturity period of just 110 days, Red Creole Onion thrives in greenhouses, garden plots, raised beds, and containers. Developed in 1962 by the Desert Seed Company, this short-day onion is celebrated for its resistance to Pint Root Rot and its adaptability to warmer climates. Red Creole Onion's small to medium-sized bulbs are characterized by their thick, flat shape and light-red color, with a flesh that is firm and pungent, ideal for adding a spicy kick to any dish. While not as sweet as some red onions, the tantalizingly spicy flavor mellows and sweetens beautifully when grilled or caramelized. These onions are not only delicious but also beneficial for health, as they are rich in the carotenoid lycopene, known for combating cancer-causing free radicals and promoting heart and lung health. Perfect for culinary enthusiasts seeking a versatile and enduring onion variety, Red Creole is a true staple for Southern latitudes.
