Red Onion
Wholesale red onion supplied by VegieFresh from Pukekohe to restaurants, cafes and food businesses across Auckland and Hamilton. Available in 5kg, 10kg packs.
Red onions bring a milder, slightly sweet flavour and vivid red-purple skin that adds colour as well as taste to a dish. Eaten raw, they're crisp and mellow enough for salads, salsas and garnishes; cooked, they soften into a natural sweetness suited to caramelising, grilling and pickling. A kitchen staple for menus that call for onion with visual appeal.
