VIDALIA ONIONS
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.
The Piggly Wiggly grocery store chain helped Vidalias® first become a star. Since then, they have gone on to earn the prestigious title of “state vegetable.”
