A gardener in England brought a behemoth nearly 20-pound onion to a flower show in North Yorkshire — and organizers believe the behemoth vegetable may set a world record.
The Harrogate Autumn Flower Show said Gareth Griffin’s 19.77-pound onion outweighs the previous world record, an 18.68-pound onion brought to the Harrogate Autumn Flower Show by Tony Glover in 2014.
Organizers of the Harrogate Autumn Flower Show, which runs until Sunday at Newby Hall & Gardens, posted the onion on its Instagram page, with a disclaimer stating the feat is still pending Guinness World Records’ review.
The onion is on display at the show’s Edible Pavilion, alongside other giant vegetables that include a cabbage, cucumber and carrot.
Show organizers said the onion’s status as the world’s largest must now be reviewed by Guinness World Records.
