The Sweet Onion is a member of the Pungent Allium  Genus snd Lilly family , which also includes Garlic, Leeks, Shallots and, Scallions.  The Sweet Onion was known as valubale as gold in the mid years.  Sweet Onions are not related to any other vegetable.  It was adopted in 1997.  It's the best onion I have ever tasted!(well, that's my opinion)Home
