Oso Sweet Onions

To grow a world-class sweet onion requires the perfect union of ideal growing area and unique seed variety. Add in a dedicated team of growers and agronomists, working together to ensure that each Oso Sweet onion meets our exceedingly high standards, and you have a winning formula for growing outstanding sweet onions year after year.

Oso Sweet Chilean onions are grown in the clean, mineral-rich, volcanic soil of the foothills of the Andes Mountains in Chile. On average, Oso Sweet onions contain up to one-third more sugar than other sweet onions, and in some seasons sugar levels reach as high as 15%. This quality makes Oso Sweet onions truly unlike any other sweet onion on Earth.

The crystal-clear water that flows down from the Andes is some of the purest water found on Earth. This is the only water used for irrigation during the Chilean growing season, and it contributes to the consistent size and quality that Oso Sweet consumers look for year after year.

Not only are our world-class onions grown in Chile, but we have also found an ideal growing area in Weslaco, Texas. These domestically grown onions feature the same Chilean size, taste, and quality, but allow our sweet onion season to be extended all the way through May. Now, enjoy the world’s premier sweet onion as we lengthen our delicious product availability through the spring.
