YALTINSKIY PLUS ONION

Yaltinsky Plus: The Premium Salad Onion Choice

When it comes to salad onions, Yaltinsky Plus stands out as a sophisticated choice. Developed by the Crimean Research Institute of Agriculture, this variety was bred to bridge the gap between regional heritage and modern agricultural reliability. It isn’t just an onion; it’s a culinary tool designed for flavor-focused growers.

Flavor and Aesthetics

The primary differentiator is the flavor profile. While standard yellow onions are defined by their sharp, sulfuric bite, Yaltinsky Plus is famous for its mild, sweet, and crisp texture. The flat bulb shape and deep violet skin make it a visual centerpiece for high-end salads and gourmet dishes.

• Maturity: With a growing season of 90 to 110 days, it offers enough flexibility for growers to time their harvest for peak market demand.
• Sizing: Averaging 150–180 grams, these bulbs are sized perfectly for professional kitchens—large enough to minimize waste, but consistent enough for elegant plating.
• Storage: Unlike some ultra-mild varieties that spoil quickly, Yaltinsky Plus maintains its quality for 4–5 months, providing a sufficient window for post-harvest sales.

Why Growers Choose Yaltinsky Plus

This variety is not designed for year-long warehouse storage. Instead, it is built for value. Because it is recognized as a premium salad onion, it commands a higher price point than generic commodity bulbs. It is an ideal fit for growers who supply local markets, organic food shops, or restaurants where the end-consumer prioritizes taste over shelf life.

Pros: Excellent flavor, no need for soaking to remove bitterness, consistent bulb weight.
Cons: Requires careful handling during harvest and transport due to its high moisture content and delicate, thin scales.
