The official state vegetable of Georgia is the Vidalia® onion. Georgia’s sandy soil and mild growing climate are credited with their sweet taste.
Sweet Vidalias® were discovered 75 years ago by surprise when a Georgia farmer found his onions were not hot!
Vidalias®, by law, can only be grown in 20 Georgia counties.
Vidalias® generally have half the sulfides—the stuff that produces both tears and indigestion!—of other onions.

They are wonderfully sweet. I like to add them to my veggie stir-fries. I know people who eat them plain, raw, like an apple. www.vidaliaonions.com/recipes.htm has some interesting recipes and reading information. Deb
