Onion (Allium cepa 'Red Hunter')

While ‘Red Hunter’ is a specific cultivar, all onions (Allium cepa) originated in **Central Asia and the Middle East.** More specifically, the region is thought to be centered around modern-day Iran, Pakistan, and surrounding areas.

The ‘Red Hunter’ cultivar, being a type of red onion, doesn’t change that fundamental origin. It was likely bred and developed in a specific location, but its ancestry still traces back to Central Asia/Middle East. The *specific* breeder location isn’t readily available for the cultivar, but it is likely somewhere with a history of onion cultivation.

So, the answer is **Central Asia/Middle East**.
