Inside, the crisp white flesh is attractively marked with concentric red rings, giving the bulbs plenty of colour when sliced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe firm flesh has a good traditional onion flavour with enough sweetness for fresh use while retaining plenty of character when cooked. Slice into salads, sandwiches and burgers, add to pickles and relishes, or use in roasting, soups, stews and sauces. Cooking softens both the flavour and some of the vivid red colouring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed Brunswick is a late-maturing variety and is particularly valued for its excellent storage qualities. The mature bulbs develop protective outer skins and, when properly cured, can be stored for an extended period in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso known as Brunswick Red, this heritage variety has long been grown in Europe as a dependable storage onion. Its combination of large bulbs, striking colour and keeping ability has ensured its continued popularity with home gardeners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnions have been cultivated since ancient times, with their origins generally traced to Central and Southwest Asia. Their versatility and ability to store for extended periods made them an important staple crop throughout the ancient world and eventually led to the enormous diversity of regional varieties grown today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeed count: approximately 240–400 seeds\/g\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 100 seeds per packet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTropics: Generally not ideally suited for reliable bulb production\u003cbr\u003eSubtropics: Autumn in cooler districts\u003cbr\u003eMild climates: Autumn to winter\u003cbr\u003eCold climates: Autumn to winter, according to local onion-growing conditions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow approximately 5–10 mm deep into prepared soil, seedbeds or trays in autumn.
