This varietal of red onion with a distinct shape and color is traditionally grown on the Lake Constance peninsula of Höri. The outer skin has an intense red-brown color that does not rub off when the onions are cut, and their typical flattened form is particularly well suited to weaving traditional onion braids.
Hori-Bülle onion is characterized by its delicate aroma and mild, delicate flavor. This makes it an ideal onion to eat raw – Höri-Bülle performs quite well in salads. When cooked, Bülle develops a rich aroma without losing its characteristic red color.
