Onions 52 announced that Smileys™, tearless and sweet onions, will return to stores in late October. Grown in Washington State, these onions offer a consistently sweet culinary experience, without the usual onion tears. These premium onions are domestically grown and available to ship from all of the company's locations, including the new Onions 52-East shed in Ohio.
"We've grown our tearless, sweet onions for several seasons now, and every year we have exponentially expanded our acreage, a testament to the premium quality and taste consumers love about these onions," says Shawn Hartley, president. "Smileys are not an easy onion to grow, and we have perfected the process by investing in proprietary growing and harvesting methods to ensure consumers are getting the top-quality that only our variety of tearless and sweet onions can offer."
Hartley says that Smileys are not an easy onion to grow, but that it has perfected the process by investing in proprietary growing and harvesting methods.
These unique sweet onions are harvested in August and remain in storage for several months until reaching the brand's promise of sweetness and tearlessness. While most onions become more pungent over time, these are the opposite – and become sweeter and more tearless throughout the curing process. Smileys is a hearty, storage variety onion.
Offered in both 3lb and 5lb pack sizes, Smileys are shipped in high-graphic, 40lb fuchsia cartons that are an eye-catcher throughout produce departments. Onions 52 provides comprehensive merchandising support, including custom point-of-sale (POS) materials, social media backing, educational one-sheets for produce managers, and engaging display contests to help retailers maximize visibility and incremental sales during the Smileys season. The onions are available through mid-April, or while supplies last.
The onions will be on display at Onions 52's booth, #C2357, at the upcoming Global Produce & Floral Show in Atlanta, Georgia.
