Onion Karmen Heat Prepared Approx. 65 75 Sets

Sweet Red Onions with Crisp, Colourful Flesh Exceptionally sweet, mild flavour Crisp white flesh edged with light crimson Particularly good eaten raw Very good keeping qualities Heat prepared for 20 weeks to reduce bolting Beneath the rich red skin you'll find crisp white flesh, with each layer attractively edged in light crimson. The rounded to slightly flattened bulbs are as appealing sliced open as they are growing on the plot, bringing plenty of colour to summer salads and home-cooked dishes. The exceptionally sweet flavour is what really sets this variety apart. It's milder than a stronger red onion such as ‘Red Baron’, making it particularly good sliced raw into salads, sandwiches and burgers. Cooking softens the flavour further and brings out its natural sweetness, so it's equally useful for roasting and everyday cooking. There are practical benefits too. The bulbs have very good keeping qualities, so a well-cured crop can be stored for later use. The sets are also heat prepared for 20 weeks to reduce the risk of bolting, helping the plants put their energy into developing well-ripened bulbs rather than producing premature flower stems.
