Consomme Onion Sticks

Awaji Island seems to be a miraculous environment for growing onions

”Awajishima onions” are a famous specialty of Awaji Island, Hyogo Prefecture. The “consommé onion stick” I bought this time is a local snack stick that brings the flavor of Awajishima onions to the forefront. The “consommé + onion” combination is a unique snack bar from Awaji Island.

On the package is an onion character with a big smile on his face.lol

The greatest characteristic of Awaji onions is their sweetness. They are said to be about 1.4 times sweeter than ordinary onions with a high sugar content, making them ideal for eating raw in salads and other dishes.

The reason why onions grown on Awaji Island are so sweet is that the average temperature is around 16 degrees Celsius, which is very suitable for growing onions for a long period of time throughout the year, and the soil on Awaji Island is rich in sea minerals that are said to make onions less pungent. The soil composition of Awaji Island is rich in sea minerals, which are said to reduce the pungency of onions.

This snack is made with consommé and onion flavored powder dusted on corn snacks, so it was definitely a good one.
