Maui Onions
Two characteristics set the Maui onion apart from other yellow onions: the high sugar and high moisture content of its flesh.
White Corn
White corn is a sweet corn variety. Its ears are wrapped in tightly layered pale lime green to white husks. One ear of corn can contain up to 400 kernels growing in rows lengthwise.
Seasons/Availability
White Creamer potatoes are available year round.
Current Facts
Varieties of white creamer potatoes include California white, white cascade and white rose.
Description/Taste
White creamer potatoes are the young immature and tender version of a common white variety potato. The skin is pale burlap in color, thin and rich in moisture content. The flesh is not white, rather a creamy yellow. Its flavor is creamy and texture, waxy. When cooked the potato's flavors are mild and buttery with an airy textural quality.
Applications
Although creamer potatoes are great for boiling and roasting, they make a great fryer potato and are the principal ingredient in "Tim's Cascade Chips" - the name, a nod to the white variety of potatoes used to make the chip.
Geography/History
Genetic testing of a wide variety of cultivars and wild species suggests that the potato has a single origin in the area of southern Peru. Having hundreds of cultivated varieties to rely on for culinary purposes has allowed potatoes to adapt to different growing conditions throughout centuries. Hybrid varieties of white potatoes have been created to improve upon their wild ancestors' cosmetic features, flavor and their ability to survive.
