Onion varieties are meticulously categorized based on their diameter and weight to meet diverse culinary and commercial requirements. Sizes range from the largest Super Colossal onions (4.5 inches+ diameter, over 21 ounces), ideal for food service applications such as onion rings, down to the smallest Creamer or Pearl onions (under 1 inch diameter, less than 3 ounces), perfect for pickling and garnishing. Intermediate sizes include Colossal, Jumbo/Large, Medium, Pre-Pack, Small, and Boiler onions, each catering to specific cooking, retail, and export purposes. Indian grading emphasizes weight, with Big/Extra Large onions (150 grams+) favored in hotels and salads, Medium/Ideal onions (~100 grams) for retail, and Sambar/Baby onions (under 50 grams) featured in South Indian cuisine. Color variants—yellow, red, and white—are available across all sizes, packed in mesh bags (2-50 lbs) or sold loose in bulk. Varunya International, an Indian exporter based in Gujarat, offers premium quality fresh onions backed by FSSAI, APEDA, and IEC certifications, ensuring reliable packaging, timely shipment, and competitive pricing for global buyers.
