Brown onions have a brown or almost yellow papery skin and creamy flesh. They have a strong flavour and are excellent for cooking which is why they are the most widely used onion. With a pungent aroma and strong flavour, its an excellent all-round onion.

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.

DIVESH MITTAL ✓

Always a great butches for the veggies. And for salads, but not best for eating them raw.

Brown onions are a great addition to many dishes! They have a sweet, mild flavor when cooked and add depth to soups, stews, and stir-fries. They caramelize beautifully, bringing out their natural sweetness. Plus, they’re versatile and easy to prepare.

I like Coles Brown Onions for their firm feel and a bright, brown outer skin. They are a kitchen companion that makes me cry with pleasure, but then they give us unique flavours.

Jono ARMSTRONG ✓

Best value onions and great to add in to your everyday dishes for flavour and bulking a meal. They can be quite strong so watch for the tears! Cut and cook quickly to get rid of that. Mild taste once cooked.

Ch liz ✓

Coles brown onions are fresh and versatile with a mild, slightly sweet flavour when cooked.

Balaji Makam ✓

I bought these onions in Coles and pretty surprised by the price of 2 per kg. Unlike others this batch has medium size onions.

WendyE ✓

These onions were quite pungent when I cut them and did make my eyes water. They tasted good cooked on the bbq and I’ll add some to a slow cooker beef stew.

Saba Arooj ✓

The Coles Brown Onion bag for 1 kg is $2.50. I think that is awesome value and they are quite fresh and taste pretty good especially for that price.

Amy Pungitore ✓

These are the best quality white onions from woolworths, at a great price.

Joanne Khoo ✓

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. Quality is generally decent, but like most supermarket produce, it can vary—sometimes you’ll need to pick through for firm ones. Overall, they’re reliable and good value, especially for regular home cooking.
