Fresh Onion Bag ( 50 LB )

A 50 lb onion bag refers to a large, bulk packaging of onions that weighs 50 pounds (22.68 kg). This is a common size for purchasing onions in large quantities, typically intended for wholesale buyers, restaurants, caterers, or food service operations that require high volumes of onions.

Key Features:

1. Weight: The bag contains 50 pounds of onions, which can range from 30 to 80 onions, depending on their size and variety.

2. Packaging: The onions are usually packed in a mesh or burlap bag, allowing for air circulation and helping to keep the onions dry, which reduces the risk of rot.

3. Variety: The onions in a 50 lb bag can be yellow, white, red, or sweet onions, depending on the supplier and customer preference. Yellow onions are the most common for large bags, as they have a balanced flavor and can be used in a wide range of recipes.

4. Storage: These bags are meant to be stored in cool, dry places with good ventilation. The onions inside the bag will typically have a shelf life of several weeks if stored properly.

5. Use: The bulk size makes it ideal for commercial kitchens and restaurants that use onions in large quantities for cooking. These bags are not generally intended for home consumers, unless the customer is preparing to use onions over a long period or has significant storage space.

Common Uses:

• Cooking: Large quantities for sautéing, soups, stews, salads, and stir-fries.

• Preservation: Many buyers will use the onions immediately or store them for future use by caramelizing and freezing or pickling them.

• Food Processing: In some cases, bulk onion bags are used by food processors who further prepare and package the onions for sale as pre-cut or frozen products.

Purchasing:

• These bags are often sold by wholesale suppliers, farmers’ markets, or bulk grocery stores, and are ideal for businesses or individuals who need onions on a regular, large-scale basis.
