Navatha Reddy ✓

Woolworths Brown Onion are our used in our everyday cooking in preparing curries, adding to salad and making some ring onion fritters. This are very crispy to eat as it is in salad and cooks very quickly too.

Janice Pua ✓

Good quality onions overall. Most were firm and fresh with no soft spots. They lasted well over a week when stored properly. Great for everyday cooking like curries and stir-fries. The only downside is that a couple in the bag were smaller than expected. Still good value for the price.

Chee Lai ✓

at $1/lkg it's very goodi value I remember that it was promised by the supermarket that it is going to keep it at $1/kg but it did not last long the normal price is now about double that! that's inflation for you

Beardy-Bear ✓

A good value bag of onions. Medium to small in size but all are firm and good quality. I usually cook meals for two so the onion sizes are ideal.

Adam ✓

thease Woolworths onions are great from roasting them or chopping them up for pasta always good great taste

Jenny Lo ✓

Good old pantry staples. Nothing really remarkable about these. This batch was particularly fresh and crispy, but did cost us quite some tears chopping them! We used then in a curry but could imagine they would be quite nice eaten raw in a salad considering how crispy they are. They never softened as they were supposed after 2 hours in the pot too. No complaints however because this is a really good price for the lot.

I-Sheng Chris Wang ✓

I would say this is the only onion that I usually buy either from Woolworths or Coles. However, the price need to be reduced slightly.

Prajwal Lingaraju ✓

Fresh and firm onions with a good strong flavour that works well in most dishes. The bag is convenient to store and lasts well for regular cooking use.

shibabi69 Hogan ✓

Kristine Vapor ✓

great pantry staple, always have a bag on hand. I use it as a base for a lot of my cooking and it's such a little powerhouse for flavour

S K Johnson ✓

This is a very economical way to buy onions. They stay fresh stored in the cupboard either in the bag to keep them contained or separated.

TD2 ✓

overall, good value and quality. convenient to have a kg bag of onions, then you generally don’t run out, especially when you do a lot of cooking and trying new recipes. I find they generally are a little smaller than the ones you buy individually, which I like 👍🏼

Venita Manning ✓

Reliable, humble, and absolutely indispensable — the yellow onion is the backbone of great cooking. These golden beauties bring a deep, rich flavour that transforms any dish they touch, from a slow-simmered soup to a hearty stew or a classic French onion dish. Their natural sugars caramelise to perfection, developing a warmth and sweetness that is simply irresistible. Widely available, affordable, and incredibly versatile, the yellow onion never lets you down. Every great meal has one quietly working behind the scenes.

Abbey ✓

love woolies brown onions use these in so many recipes and they stay fresh for a good amount of time

Hannah Strathdee ✓

Tennysha Flenady ✓

I buy these every shop and I’ve never had a problem with them as they are always fresh and a mix of small and lager ones in the bag

Ming Fat Siu ✓

These onions are fresh, firm, and full of flavor. Great value for a whole bag, perfect for all your cooking needs. No complaints at all!

butternaan ✓

sometimes the quality is mixed, with one or two in the bag starting to rot or having completely rotten. usually flies circling this section in the supermarket. however, when you finally pick a good one, these onions are fine, they work for so many dishes

Janet Curtain ✓

these are such good value! good quality and quantity to last a family of 4 a week. nicely packaged to allow the onions to breathe. brown onions are the best for cooking and a good general all rounder which is very versatile

Priyanka Desai ✓

used in my curry it’s turn out really well. value for money. really cheap.

Smart Shopper May ✓

Good quality bulk brown onions. Brown onions have a subtle taste as compared to the red ones. I normally buy this as a whole bag - 1kg usually as I use brown onions in all my recipes. Good value for money when purchased in bulk.

David Coulon ✓

We tend to buy our onions in the 1kg bag as they are normally cheaper than loose. Onions are high in fibre and antioxidants. I love it when they are gently caramelised which turns they into a delicious sweet tasting component of any meal.

Kheang ✓

These onions are cheap and affordable. Very great for frying with garlic. aromatic and lasts longer

Tommo62 ✓

a bit disappointed as they were yuck on the inside I had to waste a lot!

Nikhil Shrestha ✓

A cheap and reliable kitchen staple. Good for everyday cooking like curry, fried rice, or pasta sauce. Just check the bag for firm onions without soft spots or sprouts before buying as one or two onions in the bag may spoil faster if stored too long.

WendyE ✓

A great buy. Much more economical to buy this way. These store well in the fridge. Easy to cut. No tears for me. A delicious sweet flavour that’s useful in savoury dishes.

ka ✓

tastes sweet and fresh, good supermarket brand onions

Annabel Coe ✓

perfect size that will last a few weeks for the family. great tasting as well

J ✓

Nice onion from Woolies. It is fresh and in good quality. I bought it with price special $2.5 / bag from Woolies, which is definitely a good bargain. And it normally can be kept for more than 2 weeks.

Jinka ✓

these products are longer life and it is very handy to keep in the fridge. once we bought these products, open the bag and put in a deep ceramic container and keep in the fridge. you can use for soup, salad, with rice or with pasta or a sandwich ingredient.

Ella Thompson ✓

The 1kg bag of brown onions at woolworths is great value, I got 10 onions for just $2.50. they are great quality and don’t spoil quickly, they last so long and add to every meal

Monica ✓

The Woolworths bag of brown onions were fresh and free from blemishes. They tasted great caramelised on a burger.

KG ✓

Decent onions. I used them to make a bolognaise and they did the job!

MD ZAHED ULLAH ✓

🧅 Positives ✔️ Cost & Value for Money • Woolworths brown onions in bagged form are typically very cheap per kilogram compared with many other fresh produce items — roughly around ~$1.50–$2.90/kg depending on pack size and specials. • Onions are a staple ingredient that stretch across many recipes, so affordable pricing can lower overall grocery costs. ✔️ Versatile Cooking Ingredient • Brown onions are a foundational vegetable in countless dishes — soups, stews, stir-fries, sauces, caramelised toppings, etc. • They have a strong flavour that cooks down well, adding depth to savoury cooking. ✔️ Australian Grown / Year-Round Availability • These onions are typically grown in Australia and stocked year-round in Woolworths produce aisles, offering local sourcing and traceability. ✔️ Convenient Packaging • Bags are pre-weighed and ready to pick up, saving time if you don’t want to select and weigh loose onions yourself. ⸻ 🧅 Negatives ✖️ Quality Inconsistency • A fairly common complaint in community discussions is that some bagged onions are not as fresh as expected — including reports of mould, internal rot, or onions going bad shortly after purchase. • This inconsistency often depends on the specific store’s turnover and storage conditions, which can vary widely. ✖️ Packaged Produce Risks • Bagged onions sometimes contain a mix of sizes and quality levels, and you can’t feel or inspect them as easily as loose onions when they’re pre-packaged. ✖️ Price Transparency & Comparison • While bagged onions can be cheap, there are pricing quirks when buying online vs in store (e.g., per-each vs per-weight pricing), which can cause confusion and make value harder to compare. ✖️ Waste Risk • Because onions in a bag may vary in storage age, you may end up discarding some if they spoil before you use them. This can negate the initial cost savings if several go bad quickly

Onions seemed good quality and fair priced.

CHANG, KAI-CHI ✓

Brown bag onions are a practical and budget-friendly pantry essential. They have a firm texture and a balanced, slightly sweet flavor that deepens beautifully when cooked. Perfect for sautéing, roasting, or adding depth to soups and stews, they’re a reliable ingredient that enhances everyday meals with rich, savory notes.

Jem ✓

Good quality, last a long time in the pantry before sprouting and you get a good amount for the price.

Betty Wang ✓

Woolworths Onion Brown Bag is a practical staple to keep in the kitchen. The onions are generally fresh, firm, and good for everyday cooking like stir-fries, soups, and roasting. The bag offers good value for money compared to buying individually. Occasionally, a few onions may spoil faster, so it’s best to check and store them in a cool, dry place.
