Display: Display next to other varieties of Melissa’s onions including shallots, boiler onions, and cipollines.

Seasonality: Available year-round.

Selection & Storage: Pearl Onions are hand selected for excellent quality. Look for Pearl Onions that are firm, heavy for their size and have dry, papery skins. When selecting Pearl Onions avoid any signs of moisture, green shoots or dark spots. Keep in mind that humidity breeds spoilage in dry onions. Store whole Pearl Onions in a cool, dry place with good air circulation for up to two months, (depending on condition when purchased). Once cut, tightly wrap any unused onion in plastic, refrigerate and use within four days.
