Woolworths is excited to announce the exclusive New Zealand launch of Tearless Onions – a revolutionary new product set to transform the cooking experience for Kiwis.
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.”
Tearless Onions will be available in Woolworths stores nationwide from the 16th of June.
“Developing the ‘Happy Chop’ has been a journey of learning and collaboration,” said Scott Harvey, Onion Crop Manager at Wilcox. “Working with Nunhems and drawing insights from Woolworths Australia’s experience has been invaluable. We’re thrilled to bring this unique onion to New Zealand consumers.”
“What makes the ‘Happy Chop’ special is its 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 flavor but not the tears.”
“Our long-standing partnership with Woolworths is something we deeply value. We’re excited to work together to bring the ‘Happy Chop’ to market, ensuring consumers have access to this exceptional product.”
