Specifications & Details

Product Description

The Behbahan alluvial plain in southwestern Iran, benefiting from mild winters and early warming springs, yields Iran's premier early-crop export red onions. Cultivated under the supervision of IRANCO Organic, these crops adhere to ecological farming frameworks without chemical growth regulators or synthetic synthetic phosphates.

Characterized by succulent concentric rings rimmed with vibrant carmine pigments, Behbahan red onions provide a subtly sweeter, aromatic bite coupled with high quercetin levels. IRANCO cleans, de-roots, inspects, and sorts each batch into uniform size grades, packing them in ventilated protective packaging designed to capture premium value across Gulf and regional early-season windows.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions
