What is "Below Standard Seed"?

Simply put, it is seed that doesn't meet our state's (Utah) germination standard, a standard that varies slightly from seed to seed. Any seed intended for gardening that has a below standard germination rate cannot be sold alongside those that meet the state requirements (which often reflect the national requirements for germination).

We send samples of all our seed to the Utah Department of Agriculture, where they perform several tests to assess the quality of the seed. These state-wide and national seed standards are in line with Association of Official Seed Analysts (AOSA), which exist to ensure consumers that they are getting the highest quality seed, as advertised. Since this seed doesn't meet the state standard, we mark it as "Below Standard Seed".

Low germination seeds are non-refundable.

White Sweet Spanish Onions Growth Habits:

Heirloom White Spanish Onions reach full maturity after 120 days. Onions can be planted in well-drained moist soil in the spring when temperatures reach 60-75 F in northern gardens. Southern gardeners have more success planting this variety in the fall. Bulbs can reach over 3 inches in diameter. Growers know the onion is ready to harvest when upright green stalks start to fall over and yellow. As the onion is reaching full maturity scallions can be consumed as well.

Various Uses for White Sweet Spanish Onions:

White Sweet Spanish Onions have a mild and sweet flavor. Cooks love this particular onion because it is large, glistening, and easy to peel skins. The more common Yellow Spanish Onion has much more sharpness. So this is a great option for dishes that need a slight onion flavor like cream sauces and light broths.

White Sweet Spanish Onions Benefits:

Onions have numerous health benefits. Spanish onions contain cancer-fighting compounds linked to sulfur in onions. People with Diabetes have had success incorporating onions into their diet because onions are food that controls blood sugar. Because of their antimicrobial properties, onions are credited for fighting harmful ailments like E. Coli.

Additional Information:

White Sweet Spanish Onions differ from Yellow Spanish Onions by being less sharp.
