Washington Sweet Onions

It was 1900 when a Frenchman named Peter Pieri made his way from Europe to Washington to settle. He brought with him some onion seeds from the Island of Corsica, off the coast of Italy. The Italian Community first planted the onion as a fall harvest salad onion, however it soon became popular as a regular onion because of its impressive ability to over winter. The Washington Sweet Onion grown today is a close relative to the original seed stock.

Today, Washington State is still home to what the locals call "the French Onion". This mild onion has been a favorite in West Coast Markets for many years. It was only in the 1980's when this sweet onion became recognized nation-wide as the late summer treat that it is.
