Onion Long Day Gold Coin is a distinctive cipollini onion variety celebrated for its characteristically flat, coin-like bulb morphology and exceptional culinary versatility. This non-GMO heirloom produces small-to-medium yellow bulbs averaging 1.5-3 inches in diameter with shallow depth of approximately 0.75-1 inch, creating the distinctive flattened profile that defines cipollini onions. The unique bulb shape and manageable size make Gold Coin exceptionally practical for diverse culinary applications and presentation purposes. Gold Coin's flavor profile demonstrates remarkable transformation through cooking. The raw bulbs exhibit characteristic pungent intensity typical of long-day onion varieties, while extended cooking develops delicious sweetness that distinguishes this variety from conventional onion types. This flavor evolution makes Gold Coin exceptionally valuable for caramelized preparations, roasting, and braised dishes where the sweet character emerges and dominates the finished dish. The versatility across raw and cooked applications provides remarkable culinary flexibility. The variety's traditional use for bunching and braiding reflects its practical advantages—the manageable bulb size and consistent shape enable efficient bundling and presentation, making Gold Coin ideal for farmers' market sales, gift presentations, and decorative culinary applications. The long-day photoperiod requirement makes Gold Coin ideally suited for Northern regions and cool-climate areas within the recommended latitude range of 38-60°, where extended daylight periods trigger reliable bulb development. Expect mature, harvestable bulbs in approximately 80 days under favorable conditions, enabling strategic planting timing and efficient harvest management. The germination rate of approximately 80% or better ensures dependable seed establishment. With 200 seeds per packet, non-GMO certification, and our commitment to sustainable cultivation and environmentally responsible, recyclable packaging, Gold Coin offers comprehensive value for Northern gardeners seeking distinctive cipollini onion performance combining exceptional flavor transformation, practical bulb size, and reliable productivity.
