Vidalia onions are sweet and crisp with a mild flavor, and are more sugar than sharp. They have a unique flat shape and are larger than other onions. Vidalia onions are available from April to August, and are hand planted, harvested, and cured each season.
Vidalia onions are more sweet than other onions because of the low sulfur content in the soil where they are grown in Vidalia, Georgia. They don't have the pungent, acidic flavor of other onions, and have a hint of onion. The nuances of the onion come out when it's caramelized or roasted.
