Red Onion (Tabrezi)

Product Overview:
Red Tabrezi Onions are a staple for those who demand a strong, traditional flavor profile. Sourced from high-quality soil that produces a more concentrated sulfur content, these onions are prized for their "kick." While the Shirazi variety is known for being mild, the Tabrezi is built for the heat of the stove. When sautéed, they release deep aromatics that form the foundation of savory cooking, eventually breaking down into a silky, sweet consistency that thickens gravies and enriches the "bhuna" process.

Key Features:

Robust & Pungent: Features a powerful flavor that stands up to heavy spices, making it the perfect aromatic for traditional South Asian and Middle Eastern cuisines.

High Juice Content: Packed with moisture and essential oils, ensuring they caramelize deeply and evenly without drying out.

SQA Monitored Selection: Every onion is hand-inspected for a firm, heavy feel and a tight, multi-layered papery skin. We ensure there is no softness at the neck, guaranteeing a fresh and potent onion every time (SQA Checked).

Deep Color Saturation: The skin and outer layers are a rich, dark red, indicating a high concentration of healthy plant compounds.

Storage Instructions:
