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.”
