White Grano
Sweetly fragrant and delicately mild, White Grano forms pristine, ivory-white bulbs with a crisp, fine-grained snap and a clean, juicy bite. At maturity, the skins stay smooth and tight, making the bulbs ideal for fresh use as well as roasting until they turn tender and caramel-kissed. Grow White Grano for a refined, market-class white onion that shines in salads, savory sauces, and pickled preparations alike—its gentle flavor keeps every dish bright and balanced.
