Producer

For most of the year our white onions come from Nick Walton's Norfolk fields. He lives on the gorgeous Bagthorpe Farm, not far from the Norfolk coast, and rotates his crops regularly to get a rich diversity of soils, plants and wildlife. He also grows our other onions and carrots at different points in the year, an organic hero. While we wait for Nick's onions to grow we are helped out by Thijs Geerse and Wouter Snippe, two organic farmers from Zeewolde in the Dutch province of Flevoland. This unique province was created in 1970 by reclaiming land from the former Zuiderzee. This means that the onions grow on young, fertile land, below sea level. Thijs and Wouter have been farming organically since 2001 and are passionate about their wide range of crops.

Ingredients & allergens

Abel & Cole handles celery, celeriac, peanuts and nuts on site. Due to our packing process and re-use of boxes there is a risk of cross-contamination from these, and all other allergens.

While we do everything we can to ensure the information on this page is correct, ingredients, nutritional and dietary information are subject to change. So along with the information on our website, we always recommend that you read each label carefully before enjoying your items

Storage & prep

To avoid weeping buckets when it comes to chopping time, follow these tips:
- Chill your onions in the fridge before slicing - the colder they are, the better
- Use a sharp knife - blunt knives burst more of those tear-inducing onion cells
- Slice under a trickle of water - it helps wash away the pongy vapours
- Wear swimming goggles

Store your onions in the fridge, avoiding dampness, or in a cool dark larder.

Don’t forget to wash your fruit and veg before use.

Where the wild things are
We all love butterflies, birds and bees. Choosing organic is better for the environment. Organic farms encourage wildlife and biodiversity (by not using chemical sprays, and by having more hedgerows, fallow land and wildflowers).
