Most of the onions in the bag were in good condition, though a couple had slightly softer spots, but nothing major.

Cate ✓

these were only $2 a kilo! seems years since they were that price. they are a pantry staple, either for adding in stews, curries, etc but also great roasted whole with heaps of butter. and who doesn’t like caramelised onions?! really fresh, great quality.

Coles brown onions are a solid everyday staple—affordable, widely available, and great for cooking. They have a strong, slightly pungent flavour that works well in dishes like stir-fries, soups, and sauces.

Overall, they’re reliable and good value, especially for regular home cooking.
