Cabernet is a hybrid red onion variety that produces uniform, medium-large globe-shaped bulbs typically 3-4 inches in diameter, with deep burgundy to red skin, crisp white flesh ti nged with red rings, and a single center for clean slicing. The flavor is nicely balanced—sweet and mild with a pleasant sharpness that's not overly pungent, making it enjoyable raw or cooked while developing richer notes when caramelized or roasted. These onions shine in recipes like fresh salsas, pico de gallo, grilled or roasted sides, caramelized toppings for burgers and steaks, salads, soups, or pickled for tangy additions to sandwiches and charcuterie. This variety is a good choice for Utah because it's listed among excellent bulb onions by USU Extension, its long-intermediate day adaptation suits our latitudes for reliable bulbing in full sun and well-drained soil, and it provides earlier harvest than many long-day reds while offering solid storage potential in our cool, dry conditions.
