Icebear onion is a hybrid variety of white Dutch sweet onion, developed by Broer B.V. This variety is distinguished by its early maturity — up to 100 days from germination, allowing for harvest in a short period. The bulbs are round with white scales and a thin neck, with an average weight ranging from 70 to 160 grams. Due to its high dry matter content (10-12%), the onion has good storage qualities and can be kept for up to 6 months, which is a significant advantage for early varieties. The Icebear variety is highly resistant to root rot and bolting, making it adaptable to various soil types and growing conditions. It is well-suited for dry climates and demonstrates cold tolerance, expanding its cultivation potential across different regions. Additionally, the onion maintains stable quality even when agronomic requirements are not fully met, making it a reliable choice for farmers and gardeners. The flavor profile of Icebear onion is characterized by a mild spiciness with a pleasant sweet aftertaste. It is excellent for fresh consumption, especially in salads, as well as for pickling and preparing summer soups and stews. The average bulb weight and shape make this variety suitable for various culinary purposes. Icebear is a versatile and high-quality variety that combines early maturity, resistance to adverse conditions, and excellent flavor.
