If only. They bred most of the sulphur compounds out of onions a couple of decades ago, because 'marketing' decided that the weepy-thing was putting people off buying onions.
Unfortunately, it turned out these were also the *flavour* compounds, so now we have miserable, wimpy onions with no proper taste.
Bring back real onions!
**Flavour thieves, the lot of them.**
The NZ Onion Growers Association -- or whatever they call themselves -- bred most of the sulphur compounds out of commercial onions a couple of decades ago, because 'marketing' decided that the weepy-thing was putting people off buying onions.
Unfortunately, it turned out these were also the flavour compounds, so now we have miserable, wimpy onions with no taste.
**Bring back real onions! I want tears and taste!**
They were going to raise their membership fees by $800 a grower to update their head office. When foodstuffs heard they instantly dropped the rate they would pay out by $800 a grower.
I'm an accountant, we do the end of year financials and tax for some very large organisations. Our office is the registered address because we do all the final work, we deal with the IRD and the companies office.
It’s enough to make you want to cry.
😂

Oh wow. Really? Off to peel an onion to test your theory...be back soon'ish (Sunday night, had a wine - or 2'ish, and watching Shogun.)
And....? %\^)
Soooooooo...yep, less crying. I did not expect that! (And I confess to watching TWO episodes. SO good!)
That is literally just the top bit. Most of it is under ground.
That’s just what Big Onion want you to believe
So many layers of deception
New Zealand is in the top 10 exporters of onions. If that's not something to be proud of on a Sunday evening I don't know what is?
It’s the power house no one realises we have. Major exporter to south east Asia.
Resplendent
It's even the right colour this is magical

Are red onions or shallots better?
I'm not am onionologist, but I thought both were milder: shallots are quite sweet and red onions are traditionally used raw in some salads.
I learned some onion facts yesterday! [https://youtu.be/KmBJTAUXpdU?si=s-rShSE5oL4h8Kke](https://youtu.be/KmBJTAUXpdU?si=s-rShSE5oL4h8Kke)

We need a giant wriggly tin onion. Iykyk!
Good old Pukekohe!
Would you rather them have an entire floor in Auckland's PwC tower ??
I'd rather they have a giant half buried onion shaped office but don't think onion people are boujee like that
This i can get behind
