Ard van Gaalen is one of our onion growers from the Dutch co-operative Biostee based in the Hoeksche Waard area south of Rotterdam. He is always on hand to help out during the UK hungry gap! They grow some of our carrots, a lot of our onions and all of our Celeriac. We love working with them as they have great quality and are a lot of fun to work with.

Onions are maybe of the most versatile vegetables, from being roasted on their own to being the first ingredient added to a sauce. However you use onions you will always peel them. People find different ways of doing this easier than others, but it can help to chop the onion in half first. To remove the smell of onion from your hands, wash them in running water while holding a metal spoon. Store onions in the fridge, avoiding dampness, or in a cool dark larder.
