All aboard the onion gravy train
This will make your eyes water - Good Natured new Outstanding Onions are kitchen heroes, ideal for adding flavour to hundreds of dishes from around the world.
Grown using only natural predators (good bugs) to control pests (bad bugs) and disease, you can be sure that the range is grown in harmony with Mother Nature and free from pesticide residue.
A truly international ingredient, the onion is the most widely consumed vegetable around the globe. Low in calories and high in fibre, they are also believed to help fight off illness thanks to their antioxidant properties. To avoid tears, top chefs recommend running onions under cold water or splashing white vinegar on the chopping board when cutting up.
The onion is a staple ingredient in many cuisines: Mix sliced onions in a spiced batter and deep fry to make simple Indian onion bhajis; chop and chuck into any Oriental stir-fry; slowly sauté for a deliciously sweet French onion soup or slowly roast along with a selection of Mediterranean vegetables to create the perfect topping for an Italian bruschetta.
Grown in England, Good Natured Outstanding Onions sell at an RRP of £1.30 for a 750g bag from selected Asda stores nationwide.
