The Sweet Yellow Onion, with its luminous, papery gold skin and spherical shape, enchants the senses with a mild, sugary flavor. Unlike its pungent counterparts, this onion variety imparts a gentle, sweet essence devoid of overwhelming sharpness, making it the perfect companion to raw dishes such as salads, salsas, and sandwiches. When cooked, it caramelizes beautifully, swirling into a fusion of golden-brown sweetness that enhances everything from savory jams to succulent roasts. A versatile kitchen mainstay, Sweet Yellow Onions are also cherished for adding depth to soups, stews, and stir-fries, gracing each meal with their delicate balance of flavor and nutrition, which includes vitamin C and dietary fiber.
Nicolas Donck, a Belgium native, relocated to Georgia and started Crystal Organic Farm back in the mid-90's with a mission to grow healthy, organic produce. Many say he is singlehandedly responsible for introducing Atlantans to many plants of the endive and chicory varieties that were already popular in Belgium. Along the way, Nicolas helped found the Morningside Farmers Market and eventually met the love of his life, and now farm partner, Jeni Jarrard-Donck. Jeni brings an extensive knowledge of medicinal herb cultivation and usage to the partnership, making Crystal Organic one of the most well-rounded and diverse farms in the State.
