Tropea Round Red Onion
Also known as "top-shaped" for its spinning-top form, the Tropea round red onion is the intermediate ecotype of the Tropea family, between the early flat type and the late elongated one.
The Tropea Round Red Onion Plant
Allium cepa Tropea top-shaped belongs to the Amaryllidaceae family. The bulb takes on a distinctive spinning-top shape, slightly tapered at the base, with glossy red-violet skins and streaked white flesh.
How to Sow Tropea Round Red Onion
Seedbed sowing typically happens in late summer; field transplanting takes place between November and December, arranging seedlings in tidy rows.
How to Grow Tropea Round Red Onion
Like all Tropea ecotypes, it grows best in Calabrian coastal soils rich in specific minerals; it needs constant care but without excessive chemical fertilising.
Tips for Tropea Round Red Onion
This medium-early ecotype is harvested from mid-May to mid-June, at a point between the flat-round and elongated types.
Diseases and Pests of Tropea Round Red Onion
Like other onions, it is prone to downy mildew and neck rot in excessively humid conditions; watch also for onion fly and thrips.
Uses and Curiosities of Tropea Round Red Onion
Thanks to its handy shape and sweet flavour, it is widely used for jams and mustard-style condiments paired with cheeses and meats, as well as fresh in salads.
Properties of Tropea Round Red Onion
Like all Tropea red onions, it is rich in anthocyanins and organic sulphur compounds, with recognised antioxidant and digestive properties.
