Red onions have purplish red skin and white flesh tinged with red. These onions tend to be medium to large in size and have a milder and sweeter flavour. Red onions are often consumed raw in salads or lightly cooked with other foods. They are excellent for adding colour to meals but they lose some of their redness when cooked.

These are a good quality product. I always buy my fruit and veg from Coles and am usually impressed by the price and quality. The only thing I’d say about this particular bunch of onions is that they’re a bit small which makes peeling them harder. But overall I’d recommend them. Great for using in salads, pastas, pico de gallo (i often make a really simple one with chopped tomato, red onion and corriander)

the coles red onions are a great convenient package which are usually fresh and great for usingin salads. The only negative is that sometimes they are too large, so you only get 4 or 5 in one pack which means you have to use a bug onion even when you only need a small one

Sabrina Pang ✓

nothing Everythin ✓

these are really delicious I think they work the best in salads. they work well when they are caramelised as well

I like Red Onions 1Kg for their firm feel and a bright, red outer skin. They are a kitchen companion that makes me cry with pleasure, but then they give us unique flavours.

This onion is a great product. I use it regularly for cooking curry and preparing fresh salads.

Vic ✓

much better flavor than traditional white onions to add taste to your meals

Jor Dan ✓

They're good for many recipes, particularly salads. they're a bit more mild and lacking the sting of brown onions so a good edition to have if you want the flavour without the bite.

ajita Shopper ✓

I bought red onions and they were fresh and firm with a nice crisp texture. They added great flavour to salads, sandwiches, and cooked dishes. The colour was vibrant and they lasted well in storage. Overall, a reliable and versatile kitchen staple.

The size is fairly consistent across the bag, which makes meal prep easier. They also keep well when stored properly, with no quick sprouting or soft spots. The only downside is that a few onions may have slightly thicker skins, but overall the quality is good and it’s good value for a 1kg pack. Definitely a staple ingredient for everyday cooking.

Oscar Ong ✓

Not that fresh. I find the quality is not as nice as I would have gotten from Aldi.

Tessa Dixon ✓

Great with salads and pretty much anything. Can eat raw and on sandwiches. great value for money.

Bryce Guignon ✓

Bought the Coles red onion bag again and yeah it’s fine. Onions are decent size but not always the same, some big some small, but they still taste alright. I use them for pretty much everything and they last ok in the pantry if you don’t forget about them like I do. A couple had soft bits but that happens i guess. Not perfect but cheap and does the job so I’ll probly buy them again.

Mark Johnston ✓

Fresh, crisp, and full of flavour, these red onions are great quality. They have a nice balance of sweetness and bite, making them perfect for salads, sandwiches, and cooking. They keep well and add colour and depth to any dish.

Kinley ✓

Red onions are a kitchen staple known for their vibrant colour and mildly sweet, slightly sharp flavour. This 1 kg pack offers good value and is ideal for households that cook regularly. Red onions work well both raw and cooked, adding crunch to salads and depth to stir-fries, curries, and roasts. They’re also a source of antioxidants and essential nutrients, making them a healthy choice. On the downside, size and freshness can sometimes vary within the pack, and their stronger aroma may not suit everyone. Overall, red onions are versatile, flavourful, and a reliable ingredient for everyday cooking.

Jesse Vine ✓

Mild enough raw for salads, but sweetens nicely when roasted or caramelised. Good pantry staple, lasts ages if stored right.

Chlo Sharpe-Lockhart ✓

These red onions have a nice, crisp texture and a mild, slightly sweet flavour that adds a great bite to salads, burgers, and sandwiches. When cooked, they soften beautifully and become sweeter, perfect for stir-fries or roasting. They also add a lovely colour to dishes. Only downside is they can be a bit strong raw if not sliced thinly. Overall, fresh, flavourful, and versatile — a kitchen staple.

Chen Kowei ✓

I'm from India, we use red onions mostly, I don't remember seeing any other colour onions back in India at my place. I prefer them most of the timez as the taste is good. White onions I don't feel the taste as red ones.

This needs for my everyday cooking and meal prep. Red onion is a healthy option. And this is something in my weekly grocery list.

Kinley ✓

Red Onion 1 kg is a versatile kitchen essential that adds both sharpness and sweetness to a wide range of dishes. The onions are usually firm, with vibrant purple-red skin and crisp layers, making them ideal for salads, stir-fries, or caramelising. Their slightly milder flavour compared to brown onions means they can be eaten raw without overpowering other ingredients. A major advantage is their long shelf life if stored in a cool, dry place. However, the size can sometimes vary, and peeling the outer skin may be fiddly. Overall, they’re a reliable, flavorful option for everyday cooking and fresh recipes.
