It’s good to have red onions in your bag, but it’s even better if these onions are of high quality! Red onions grown from the Allium cepa L. species with a diameter of at least 45 mm can bear the KMÉ trademark. They can be named according to size categories: 45-50 mm, 50-70 mm, 70-90 mm.

An excellent red onion must have additional special external characteristics

Such is the hard, compact texture and the color characteristic of the variety, closed, intact sheath. The trademarked red onion is visibly germ-free from the outside and no remains of the root system can be seen. In this product category as well, it is a basic requirement that the grower grows red onions with integrated cultivation technology and biological plant protection.
