This red onion distinguishes itself with its mild, spicy-sweet flavor and fine texture, making it excellent both raw and cooked. Whether you are a novice gardener or an experienced grower, the Karminka onion is a valuable addition to any vegetable garden.
The Karminka onion produces beautiful, medium-sized onions weighing approximately 90 grams when fully ripe. The exterior has a deep red color, while the flesh is white with distinctive red rings. This not only adds a visually appealing appearance to dishes but also ensures a subtle, aromatic taste experience.
What makes this onion variety special is the ability to harvest it at different growth stages. Young onions, including the foliage, can be used as spring onions early in the season. Fully grown onions are perfect for long-term storage and versatile use in the kitchen.
The taste of the Karminka onion is mildly spicy with a pleasant sweetness. This makes it ideal for both raw applications, such as in salads and sandwiches, and for hot preparations such as stir-fries, soups, and stews.

Growing Allium cepa 'Karminka' is easy and suitable for both open ground and raised garden beds. Direct sowing in open ground can take place from February through April. Sow in straight rows with a distance of approximately 20 to 25 cm between rows and maintain a distance of 8 to 10 cm within the row. This gives the onions sufficient space to develop properly.
Ensure a sunny location and well-draining soil. Onions do not like wet feet, so an airy soil structure is important for successful growth. Regular weeding and light fertilization promote healthy plant development.
The harvest of fully ripened Karminka onions takes place from early to mid-August. You can recognize the right harvest time when the foliage begins to die back and fall over. After harvesting, it is important to let the onions dry thoroughly in a warm, airy place. This significantly extends their shelf life.
Well-dried onions can be stored for months in a cool, dry, and dark place. This allows you to enjoy your own harvest for a long time.
