(£2.30 per 1kg)

We’ve all had a good cry over white onions, haven’t we? Such wonderfully versatile vegetables, they are. These organic beauts add a lovely flavour and depth to whatever it is that you’re cooking. The next time you go to chop some up, try and not cut through the root, as that’s where the oil that makes you cry is stored. No amount of goggles will help!

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. Some of our onions also come from a group of growers in Manzanares in the La Mancha region, close to the Tablas de Daimiel National Park and Biosphere Reserve, in Spain. They also grow organic garlic, tomatoes, broccoli, peppers and melons. The region has a long history of agriculture with perfect weather conditions and access to the local river. The fields around La Mancha are steeped in history from a rich mixture of cultures and people that have farmed here for decades.

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.
