New onion promises full flavour without the tears, but at a cost
'Tearless' onions have made it to New Zealand, now being grown in Auckland and sold nationwide.
Woolworths New Zealand launched its Happy Chop tearless brown onions to stores on June 16, marketing the new product as 'an onion designed for everyone who loves the flavour but not the tears'.
Newstalk s Heather du Plessis-Allan tried the onions live on air, chopping one up, holding it close to her face, and even testing it on her tastebuds.
