We size our onion according to the USDA when the size and the maturity are at the right stage we will harvest and undercut the bulbs and let them dry in the fields until it is lost 5-8% of the weight after harvest then the product its transported to the packing shed where it is sorted and bagged in a automated process.
Quality
We only pack mature fairly firm and well shaped onions, free from decay, wet sunscald, doubles and bottlenecks. Free from damage caused by seeds items, splits, dry sunken areas, sunburn, and sprouting, staining, dirt or any mechanical damage or disease and insect caused defects.
Temperature
Optimum conditions for field curing are when temperatures are at least 24 C degrees (75 F) or exposure for 12 hours up to 30 to 45C (86 to 113F) for forced air-curing. Storage of mild onions will last up to .5 to 1 month at 0 C (32F) and pungent onions will last from 6 to 9 months at 0C (32F).

Quality
Good quality broccoli shuld have dark or bright green closed florets. The head should be compact, with a cleanly cut stalk of the required length. There should be no yellow florets and there should be no discoloration on the stem bracs.
Temperature
Low temperature is extremely important to achieve adequate shelf life in broccoli. A temperature of 0 is required to optimize broccoli storage life (21 - 28 days). Heads storage at 5 can have a storage life of 14 days; storage life at 10 is about 5 days.
