Description:
This legendary sweet onion hails from the island of Maui. Maui “Kula” sweet onions grow high up Haleakala’s fertile slopes. Mauis were first introduced to the mainland U.S. by tourists bringing them back by the bag. Like Vidalias, they are a Yellow Granex type hybrid and originated from varieties developed in Texas. Maui onions are extrasweet, low in sulfur, and juicy. They, or any of the other sweet onion varieties, are the very best onions to use for salds and sandwiches. Good partners for Maui onions include butter, cream, olive oil, rosemary, thyme, sage, bay, clove, cinnamon, chile, vinegar, sugar and honey.
