For over 30 years, Peri & Sons has taken a heart-felt, hands-on approach to every aspect of growing – including packing and the shipping of – their premium white, yellow, red, sweet and organic onions. Unlike multi-grower farm operations, they still hand-select the finest seeds to plant in their own fields, which span over 7,500 acres. They hand-harvest and hand-sort their onions in their own carefully-monitored state-of-the art sheds. This way they can ensure that the onions the provide are always the right size, shape, color – and of the highest quality possible. All of their onions are grown in the U.S.A. and always will be.
As one of the industry's most well-run and well-respected, family-owned onion farms, you can trust the honesty and integrity of Peri & Sons Farms. Peri & Sons Farms – "We say what we'll do and we do what we say."


MEASURING
  • One large onion = about one cup chopped onion.
  • One medium onion = about 3/4 cup chopped onion.
  • For onion juice: place half an onion, with the skin still on, in a lemon squeezer.

CUTTING ONIONS

  • Have a selection of small, medium and large onions on hand to match your recipe requirements.
  • For optimal flavor, use all of a freshly-cut onion immediately.
  • Use a sharp knife—a dull knife can slip and will mash rather than slice through the onion.
  • Use a straight-edge chef’s knife, rather than a serrated knife, for cleaner cuts.
  • Be sure your cutting board is positioned securely on the counter. If necessary, place a damp kitchen towel underneath to keep the board from sliding around.
  • Peel onions after they have been halved lengthwise, and the top has been trimmed off
