picking onions from Woolies has been an absolute ordeal lately. some days the onions are so rotten there are literally flies circling them. there is hardly a single bag without at least completely inedible onion in there. very hard to pick anything remotely useful

Eleni de Vries ✓

these were lovely and crispy, hot like regular onions but with a sweeter taste. these give salads a beautiful hum and sing summer. They were firm and easy to peel.

I recently picked up Woolworths red onions and they’ve been a great staple for my cooking. The onions are firm, juicy and have a nice mild-sweet flavour — perfect for salads, stir-fries, soups, or as a base for curries. I like how versatile they are: I often chop them raw for sandwiches or lightly sauté them for Nepali or Korean dishes. They feel fresh and keep well in the fridge for days. For the price, they’re a very budget-friendly and healthy addition to weekly groceries.

I’ve always preferred the red onions over the white ones because the red onions have more taste and it taste better with any meat items

Delicious onions. We use it to make Indian gravies as we feel it adds more flavor than the brown onions.

Bec Kosiuk ✓

These red onions are great value! They are always fresh and last a while in the bottom of my pantry. The flavour is great! A little sweeter than traditional brown onions so perfect on sandwiches, in salad and tabouli. Great pickled too! Overall a quality produce item that’s a pantry must-have.

Rocio ING ✓

tasty onions, not to strong as the white ones, so that’s good.

Chee Lai ✓

I remember a few years ago the price of red onions was $2per kilo and the retailers were making a big deal of the special .now you can only buy it at $3per kilo and that's very rarely that's inflation for you

JD ✓

this bag of red onions was affordable and good quality. The onions were Australian grown, and had good taste, texture and bite. I appreciate that they come in a large bag, which is better value than buying singular onions.

Woody ✓

love these red onions. so affordable and very tasty. i use them on salads, roasted, sandwiches, stir frys. a bag lasts ages and it doesn’t go off quickly.

Anne the Smart Shopper ✓

If you get onions as good as I have - no soft or moldy bits, solid flavour - these Woolworths red onions are excellent. Great for salads, cooking, whatever you want them for. Reliable, clean-looking, tasty. If they keep up quality, I’ll keep grabbing them.

Delicious. Makes curry extra tasty. Good quality. Reasonable price. Recommended. y

always buy these red onions and I generally look for the small onions so I don’t waste them. I find the bag is cheaper than per kilo so will happily buy

I like Woolworths Red 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.
