Maui Onions
Two characteristics set the Maui onion apart from other yellow onions: the high sugar and high moisture content of its flesh.
Cantaloupe Melon
The cantaloupe is defined by two elements: its roughly netted stone and green colored skin and its aromatic orange-coral colored flesh. When perfectly ripe, the flesh is juicy, unctuous and sweet.
Grower
Seasons/Availability
Onaway potatoes are available late summer into mid fall.
Current Facts
The Onaway potato is a pedigree variety whose combined characteristics make it highly regarded in the marketplace. It is an early season, high yielding, drought and disease resistant potato providing commercial growers with opportunity to plant multiple crops for extended seasons.
Description/Taste
The Onaway is a hefty and rough looking potato with a pale burlap-colored skin and creamy yellow firm, succulent and starchy flesh. When cooked it becomes buttery in flavor and its flesh maintains its succulence.
Applications
Onoway potatoes are best suited to boiling and baking and are not considered an optimal fryer potato.
Geography/History
The first Onaway potato seedling was planted on Aroostook Farm in Presque Isle county, Maine under the name, Seedling B67-17. It was sent to Michigan for research and development by the National Potato Breeding Program, Crop Research Division and was introduced to the commercial market in 1956. Its given name derives from the town of Onaway, a once well-established lumbering area in the farming community of Presque Isle County, Michigan.
