Red Onion Agrimax Seeds
Add bold colour and zesty flavour to your kitchen with Red Onion Agrimax Seeds from Souq Garden. This premium variety (Allium cepa) produces deep purple-red, glossy bulbs with crisp, mildly sweet flesh — the perfect choice for salads, salsas, burgers, and Mediterranean cuisine. Climate-tested for UAE conditions, Agrimax seeds deliver excellent germination and robust harvests for home gardeners across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and the entire Emirates.
Why Red Onion Thrives in the UAE
Red onions are perfect cool-season crops, thriving in the UAE's October to March growing window. Daytime temperatures of 15–25°C support strong leaf growth followed by full bulb development. The deeply pigmented skin contains powerful antioxidants, and homegrown bulbs cure beautifully for long-term storage.
