🧅 Fresh Red Onions – Sweet, Crisp & Full of Flavour

Our Fresh Sweet Crisp Red Onions are colourful, crunchy and packed with flavour, with deep red-purple skins and crisp white flesh streaked with colour.

Fresh Red Onions have a mild, gently sharp flavour when raw and become beautifully soft and naturally sweeter when cooked.

Slice them into salads and sandwiches, dice them into homemade salsa, roast them with vegetables or turn them into quick pickles for tacos and wraps.

Cook them slowly and they transform again, becoming rich, soft and caramelised — fantastic with sausages, burgers, pizzas and cheese.

Our Fresh Sweet Crisp Red Onions are carefully selected for freshness, firmness and quality.

Crisp when raw. Sweet when cooked. A proper everyday kitchen essential. 🧅✨
