Danielle Stuart, spokesperson for Monsanto, told Slashfood: "The EverMild was grown and selected to have a mild and sweet flavor." She goes on to point out that the new breed of onion was not genetically modified, but was actually "developed using good old fashioned traditional plant breeding techniques."
