Why White Onion Thrives in the UAE

White onions love the cool season and prosper in the UAE's October to March growing window. Cooler 15–25°C temperatures encourage robust leaf growth followed by full bulb development. Sweeter and milder than yellow varieties, white onions are ideal for raw consumption, Mexican cuisine, and Mediterranean salads.
