Kapıdağ Purple Onion
Erdek, Balıkesir
A sweetish, juicy, geographically indicated purple onion grown on the Kapıdağ Peninsula.
Its story
The humid air from the Sea of Marmara and the soil of the Kapıdağ Peninsula allow a distinctive purple, sweetish onion to grow. The Kapıdağ purple onion is registered with a geographical indication. Because it is mild, it is preferred raw in salads and meze. It can be found at markets in Erdek and the villages during the harvest season in early summer.
