UK: Asda Introduces Sweet Red Onion Promising Fewer Tears & Better Breath
February 9, 2015 | 1 min to read
Say goodbye to sore eyes and bad breath as supermarket giant Asda prepares to unveil a new "sweet" onion.
The new specimen has "lower pungency levels", meaning the flavour is less in your face, fewer tears are shed when chopping and the odour will not linger long as a regular onion.
The new bulb is said to be milder, juicier and crunchier than normal red onions.
Farmer Alastair Findlay of Bedfordshire Growers has spent 20 years trying to get it right, personally tasting and evaluating some 400 to 500 bulbs per season to cultivate the new product.
