Onions
Onion harvesting takes place from April to June, and there are both early varieties (which are used in salads) and late varieties (which are dried and refrigerated for long-term shipment). Onions that have been dried and then cleaned with a cloth are called "migaki onions" and are highly regarded for their quality. Many of the onions in Kagawa Prefecture are grown using seeds which are specially produced within the prefecture to suit the local climate

Onions are available throughout the year and their prices are stable, making them an indispensable vegetable on the dinner table. With a unique bitter taste and crunchy texture in salads, or a sweet softness in stir-fried or simmered dishes, onions can be enjoyed in a multitude of ways. When choosing onions, it’s best to pick those that are firm, heavy, dry and with a shiny brown outer skin.
