The increasing awareness regarding the health benefits of onion seeds is expected to boost demand for onion seeds, thereby driving the market growth, globally. For instance, onion seeds consist of sodium, calcium, iron, and potassium among others.

However, cultivation of onion seeds require hot dry summers and develop best in silty or sandy soils, which has high water-holding capacity and a consistent water supply.
