The Vidalia Sweets are among the most famous of this kind of onion, but there is also the Texas SuperSweet, Grand Canyon Sweets, Maui Sweets, Walla Walla Sweets and Nu-Mex Sweets.
All of these onions have a higher water content than fall and winter storage onions. The water gives spring onions their mild flavor, but makes them more susceptible to bruising.

Chopped or sliced onions can be stored in a sealed container and refrigerated for up to a week.
