Native to Hawaii, Maui onions have been cultivated since the early 20th century. They are small to medium in size with a globular, elongated, and sometimes stout shape. Besides, their flesh has a high sugar and moisture content allowing “Maui” to be exceptionally sweet, succulent, crunchy, and mild. In addition, these onions contain vitamins B6, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, folate, and vitamin C. As a matter of fact, folate plays key roles in metabolism, red blood cell production and nerve function. So, it’s important to have Maui onions in our lives to help us get it! And speaking of “getting it”, you can use “Mui” onions in both raw and cooked applications. Try baking it, for instance, how’about that?
