All onions have the same amount of sugar within. Some onions taste less sweet because they also have a certain amount of sulfur compounds that are essentially equivalent to sulfuric acid (crying eyes when cutting onions). The famous Vidalia and Walla Walla onions come from geographic regions where the soil is very low in sulfur, so they taste sweet... Once cooked, all onions gas off their sulfur and will taste equally sweet.

Here in WI, Franks, Sour Kraut is grown, cabbage, and you can smell in the fields pre for mending B4 they make it to Sour Kraut.

Hooper is famous in the state for their tomatoes. We have actually only been an incorporated town for about 10 years. The tomatoes are not shipped anywhere but they are great in season. It's the soil and the climate.

They also grow a lot of onions out here. In the fall when they turn the onions over in the field to dry you can smell the onions when you drive buy on the road.
