Woolworths New Zealand has announced the exclusive launch of Tearless Onions in New Zealand.
This revolutionary new product is set to transform the cooking experience for New Zealanders. These innovative onions offer an uncompromised flavour that is slightly sweeter than regular brown onions, all while reducing tears and irritation during food preparation.
Available in a handy, convenient pack size, Tearless Onions are perfect for both raw and cooked dishes.
"We are thrilled to be able to offer Tearless Onions to our customers," said Ryan McMullen, General Manager of Fruit and Veg at Woolworths New Zealand.
"We understand the frustration of watery eyes in the kitchen, and this product is a game-changer. It's a testament to our commitment to providing innovative and convenient solutions that make everyday life easier."
Scott Harvey, Onion Crop Manager at Wilcox, added that developing the 'Happy Chop' has been a journey of learning and collaboration. Drawing insights from Woolworths Australia’s experience, as well as Nunhems, has been invaluable.
The 'Happy Chop' special has a significantly lower pyruvic acid level, which is what causes tears. Despite this, the sweetness is comparable to regular onions, offering a mild and delightful taste.
“It's an onion designed for everyone who loves the flavour but not the tears. Our long-standing partnership with Woolworths is something we deeply value,” said Harvey.
“We're excited to work together to bring the 'Happy Chop' to market, ensuring consumers have access to this exceptional product."
