Brown Onions Firm Sweet Layers with Warm Rich Flavour

A Fresh Item with Real Character

Brown onions are the quiet backbone of good cooking. When they are fresh the skins feel dry and papery with a golden tone and the onion itself has a pleasant weight that signals plenty of moisture inside. Once cut, the scent is warm and comforting with a sweetness that becomes richer as it meets heat. At Gardners Patch we bring in brown onions early each morning so they stay firm and lively which makes a huge difference when you chop or cook them.

Sourcing and Freshness

Good onions depend on proper curing and steady handling. Our growers prepare and store them carefully before sending them directly to our Gloucester Road shop. When they arrive we check each batch to make sure the onions feel firm, the skins are intact and the centres full of life. Bristol shoppers rely on onions for nearly every meal which is why we treat them as one of our most important staples.

Storage Tips

Keep brown onions in a cool dry well ventilated space. They last for several days and hold their sweetness well. Avoid storing them near potatoes as both vegetables spoil faster when kept together.
