Vidalia Sweet Onions have a distinctly different flavor. Vidalia Sweet Onions are sweeter and milder than other onions. This sweetness makes them excellent in salads, and on sandwiches, where using hot onions would be too overpowering. Use thick slices of Vidalia Sweet Onions on hamburgers or grilled steaks. When cooked, these Vidalia Sweet Onions add a distinctive sweetness to any preparation.

This is perhaps the most well-known of the sweet onion varieties. It was first grown in Toombs County, Georgia, but it came to Georgia from Texas. It is by law grown only in thirteen counties and portions of seven others in southeast Georgia. The soil and climatic conditions in these defined areas combine to produce the sweeter granex hybrid trademarked as Vidalia onions. The city of Vidalia was the site of a Farmer's Market since it was located at the junction of several heavily-traveled highways. The sweet granex onion came to be called after this hub city. Vidalias are harvested from late April through mid-June, and thanks to controlled-atmosphere storage, they are available through December. The Vidalia onion is a light golden-brown bulb with a white interior, rounded at the bottom and somewhat flat on the top stem end.

Vidalia onions are a type of yellow onion that has a sweetness to it. They are from Vidalia, Georgia (at least originally). Very good onions...

Onions grown in Validia GA very over-rated. They say you can eat them like an apple but you can't. I think they are just a pale red onion.

Large whites supposedly grown in Vadalia, GA, so sweet you can bite into them like an apple.
In reality, most of the ones one the market are grown elsewhere and aren't that mellow. The ones from GA really are sweet though, best onion on the planet!
