Don't forget the yellow, very round, stout and sweet Maui Onion which is in
season around July/August. You can buy them in the supermarket here on Maui
all year, but you'll pay about $3.99 a pound. In the summer you can get
them for $.99 a pound. The best onion, IMO. Folklore says that Maui Onions
are so mild that the reason why you cry when you cut any other onion is
because all the other onions are jealous that they're not as sweet.

Give them a try. SOOOOOOOO good!
