Candy Hybrid Onion is a reliable flavor favorite and combines the best qualities of short-day and long-day onions. Bears large, white bulbs with a mild flavor. Great eaten raw on sandwiches, lightly cooked in salsas and stir-fries and cooked into meat dishes, casseroles and other recipes. It's also a fairly good storage variety. An onion's growth is affected by the amount of light received. Day-neutral onions, like Candy Hybrid, begin forming bulbs when daylight lasts 12-hours to 14-hours, making them well adapted throughout many areas of the United States except in the far North and deep South.
