Vidalia onions are known to folks around the world as the sweetest onions available. Grown in a 20-county area in the southeastern portion of the state, these “no-tears” Georgia beauties are sought for their mind, sweet taste, due to their high sugar and water content, and the loamy, low-sulfur soil where they’re grown. In 1990, the Georgia General Assembly declared the Vidalia the state’s official vegetable. Fresh season for Vidalias runs roughly May through October, but these onions are available into late fall, thanks to controlled-atmosphere cold storage and frozen packaging.
