Onion (25 Kg PPE Bag)

Product Overview:
Onions are the undisputed "soul of the kitchen," prized for their ability to transform from a sharp, pungent aromatic when raw into a sweet, caramelized delight when cooked. Sourced from regions known for the best soil drainage, our onions are cured naturally to ensure a low moisture content in the outer layers, which maximizes shelf life. These are "High-Solid" onions, meaning they hold their shape better during long cooking processes and deliver a deeper, more concentrated flavor than standard market varieties.

Key Features:

Crisp & Multi-Layered: Selected for their tight, firm layers, ensuring a satisfying crunch and a high concentration of natural oils.

Superior Shelf Life: Naturally cured to develop a strong, protective outer husk that keeps the interior fresh and juicy for longer.

SQA Monitored Selection: Every batch is hand-inspected to ensure the onions are "rock-firm" with no sprouting, soft necks, or internal dampness (SQA Checked).

Versatile Flavor Profile: Perfect for the "Golden Brown" frying required for traditional curries or for adding a sharp bite to fresh salads.
