Roscoff Onions 1kg

Roscoff onions, or Oignon de Roscoff, are a unique variety of pink-tinged onions grown in a specific coastal region of Brittany, France, and have been awarded PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) status.1 They are famous for their mild, sweet, and delicate flavor, which becomes even more mellow and fruity when cooked.2 Raw, they have a crunchy texture with a subtle, spicy finish, making them perfect for salads.3 When cooked, their high sugar content allows them to caramelize beautifully.4 Historically, they were made famous by the "Onion Johnnies," Breton farmers who would travel to England on bicycles, selling their plaited strings of onions door-to-door.5 With a long shelf life and a high content of vitamins and antioxidants, the Roscoff onion is a versatile and gourmet ingredient.
