A giant onion, grown by Gareth Griffin, a farmer from Guernsey, United Kingdom, weighing nearly 9-kilogramme is all set to break the Guinness World Record.
The onion has been put on display at the Harrogate Autumn Flower Show at Newby Hall and Gardens near Ripon in North Yorkshire held from September 15, Friday to Sunday, September 17.
Griffin produced the onion weighing a whopping 8.97 kg (19.775lb) for the National English Honor Society (NEHS) Giant Vegetable Competition.
This remarkable feat will surpass the previous world record of 8.4 kilograms (18.68 pounds) set in 2014.
“This eye-watering, ENORMOUS onion is a new record-breaking giant! The onion, grown by Gareth Griffin from Guernsey, weighed in at a whopping 8.97kg today, on the first day of the Harrogate Autumn Flower Show, and stands to be a new world record!” wrote Harrogate Flower Shows on Instagram.
They also shared a picture of Gareth Griffin proudly holding the giant onion.

The onion’s official status as the largest in the world is yet to be confirmed by Guinness World Records.
