"Vidalia Onions are just wonderful, if their no REAL Vidalia, they aren't real sweet onions!" as my mother, a Georgia native would expound to me quite often. Getting is't name from a small town in in southeast Georgia, an intrigal part of being "Vidalia" is where it is grown. Now common from April through mid November, at the time of this publication Vidalia's were only available for a short time between May and July. "Because they contain less sulfur and more water than yellows, reds, and whites, they’re mild, crisp, and good for eating raw, frying into onion rings, and stuffing like you would a mushroom or tomato." ; 8vo .
