Onions
Are you sweet on onions? If you’ve never been before, we’re betting you will be after trying a Texas 1015 Sweet Onion or Sweet Georgia Onion from Pittman & Davis! Mild enough to eat raw, Pittman & Davis Sweet Onions are also delicious when roasted, grilled or fried.
What makes Pittman & Davis onions such a sweet treat? They’re higher in sugar and lower in sulfuric compounds than other onions, which makes them less pungent. It’s because of this that they’re easier on the eyes (and, for some sensitive folks, the stomach) than other onions. Because they’re milder, sweet onions are a great choice for eating raw, and they cause less tearing, so you can chop away without donning swim goggles.
Pittman & Davis Texas 1015 onions and sweet Georgia onions are grown in regions where the soil is low in sulfur. They’re also quite large, which, combined with their sweet flavor, makes them a great choice for making onion rings. They’re best used raw (think salads and sandwiches) and in and in cooked dishes where onions are the main ingredient so their mildness can shine (like French onion soup). Seasonings that complement the sweetness of Pittman & Davis onions include salt and pepper; warm spices like nutmeg, cumin, paprika, and hot pepper; herbs like thyme, sage, rosemary, and oregano; aromatics like capers, olives, and anchovies; and vinegar to play counterpoint.
