Red Onion
Sold by the kilo, our red onions have vivid colour, crisp layers and a sweet sharp flavour that shines in both raw and cooked dishes. Fresh daily stock keeps the bulbs firm and full of moisture. Ideal for salads, roasting or slow cooking. Add some to your basket and enjoy red onions with real freshness.
OVERVIEW
Red Onions Bright Sweet Flavour with Crisp Layers and Rich Colour
A Fresh Item with Real Character
Red onions stand out the moment you see them. The skins glow with deep purple tones and the bulbs feel firm and full, a sign that they still hold plenty of natural moisture. When sliced, the layers reveal clean white and rose coloured rings with a sweet sharp scent that feels lively and fresh. At Gardners Patch we bring in red onions early each morning so they stay crisp and bright, ready to add colour and flavour to everyday cooking.

Sourcing and Freshness
Red onions need steady handling to keep their colour and moisture. Our growers cure and store them properly before sending them directly to our Gloucester Road shop. Once they arrive we check each batch for firmness, freshness and bright skin tone. Bristol shoppers often tell us they appreciate how lively and juicy our onions feel compared to supermarket stock, and that difference comes from careful sourcing and quick delivery.
Storage Tips
Store red onions in a cool dry place with airflow. They hold their vibrant colour and crispness for several days. Avoid storing them near potatoes as both spoil faster when kept together.
Why Bristol Shoppers Choose Our Red Onions
Red onions bring colour, sweetness and excitement to simple meals. They brighten salads, deepen warm dishes and add a satisfying crispness when eaten raw. Many of our regulars buy them weekly because they chop cleanly, stay fresh longer and taste fuller than pre bagged ones. If you enjoy ingredients that lift both flavour and appearance this red onion selection is a must for your kitchen at home.
