Question
From when is it forbidden to buy dry onions in the market without supervision?
Answer
Dry onions - until the 26th of Cheshvan, all dry onions were harvested in the sixth year, and from then on, there are dry onions in the market that were harvested in the seventh year and have the sanctity of the seventh year. However, according to the Rambam, the prohibition of sefichin applies from this time, but according to the Rash and the Ramban, the prohibition of sefichin will only apply from the time the species began to grow in the seventh year. From the 30th of Shevat 5782, there are also onions that were sown in the seventh year.
