The babosa onion is a short-day variety, traditionally grown in various regions of the Iberian Peninsula, known for its excellent flavor, tender texture, and great juiciness. It is especially appreciated in cooking for its mild taste, making it ideal for both raw consumption in salads and cooked in stews and sautés.

It forms medium-sized bulbs, usually weighing between 150 and 180 grams, with a light yellow or straw-yellow color and a characteristic slightly elongated shape, tapering at the base. Its flesh is white, tender, and very flavorful, with a low sulfur content, which contributes to its juicy texture and makes it less pungent than other varieties.

This variety is adapted to temperate climates, preferring mild winters and short days to form the bulb properly. Sowing is recommended between September and December, depending on the region, and can be done directly in the soil or in seed trays for later transplanting.

Its cultivation is relatively simple and rewarding. It requires well-drained, fertile soil with good sun exposure. It has a good growth and development capacity, especially when watered regularly without waterlogging. Although it is not the best variety for long-term storage, its flavor and texture make it an excellent option for fresh and seasonal consumption.

Perfect for both amateur gardeners and small-scale producers seeking a high-quality, flavorful, and traditional onion.
