Weight (in pounds) of a Walla Walla onion, prized as one of the world’s best sweet, won’t-make-you-cry onions. A mere 20 growers specialize in the allium which must by law be grown in a designated area of Walla Walla county. The soil types and microclimates of the area are perfect for onions—and, ahem, for Walla Walla’s other stellar specialties, cabernet and syrah.
