How many onions in 1 kilogram

As a rule, in all recipes they write how much onion to take in pieces, and not in grams. But the weight of the onions can vary greatly. The size and weight of the bulbs depends on the type of onion and its growing conditions. On average, one onion weighs 100 grams.

The photo clearly shows that the weight of this “Cipollino” is 99 grams. Of course, there are specimens with much greater weight, but recipes always imply the average weight of vegetables.

There are usually 9-10 medium onions in 1 kilogram of onions. It must be said that bulbs of this size are stored best in winter.

A regular 10-liter galvanized bucket can hold 7-8 kilograms of medium-sized bulbs.

In the fields, the harvest is packaged in vegetable nets. One such bag contains 27-30 kilograms of onions.

The largest onion was grown by English pensioner Peter Glazebrook. He was awarded first place at the annual agricultural exhibition. The bulb that he brought to the exhibition weighed as much as 8 kilograms 150 grams.

Peter Glazebrook received not only a certificate of a new world record for the largest bow, but also a very decent bonus of 1,500 pounds.

It turned out that this is not Mr. Glazebrook's first record. Not long before this, the largest beetroot grew in his garden. Peter himself claims that he does not use any tricky techniques when growing vegetables: “High-quality fertilizers and hard work - that’s the whole secret»

The previous record belonged to Scotsman Mel Edney, who also likes to surprise his neighbors with giant vegetables. His bow weighed 7 kilograms.
