Federal/State-inspected for consistent quality.

Onions your customer’s customers will love.
Yellow, red and white Idaho-Eastern Oregon onions have long been noted for their mild flavor, firm texture and high percentage of single centers. Served raw, they’re the perfect complement for everything from burgers to salads. In the pan, they cook up deliciously sweet and hold their shape.

In foodservice applications, large Idaho-Eastern Oregon onions prep up to five times faster than smaller onions. That leaves restaurant staffs with more time to concentrate on other tasks. Large onions also yield up to 28% more usable onion.*

HACCP compliance and third-party auditing.
Reflecting their industry leadership, Idaho-Eastern Oregon onion shippers helped create the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) guidelines that govern our industry. Most sheds voluntarily have their facilities tested by third-party auditors for compliance with these guidelines and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) This ensures food safety and provides trace-ability of our onions, all the way back to the field where they were grown.
