The Hunter River brown onion is a reliable early variety that produces large, globe-shaped bulbs with light brown skin. Known for its excellent storage qualities, it’s a top choice for Autumn sowing, and as a fantastic keeper, it can stock your kitchen with fresh onions for months after harvest.

These onion seeds thrive in fine, rich soil and love an open, sunny position, making them easy to grow either in vegetable patches or raised beds. Its firm texture and mild, versatile flavour make it suitable for countless recipes – raw and fresh in salads, tossed in melted butter for French onion soup, roasted, grilled or fried.
