NZ Onion Varieties

Sofresh markets three distinct onion types:

PLK types:
The traditional New Zealand brown cooking onions. Hard, pungent and long storing.





Japanese types:
Traditionally grown under contract for counter-seasonal supply to Japanese customers. With it's attractive shape and colour it is now also used in Europe after the completion of the Spanish.





Red onions:
We are the leading NZ exporter of red onions to European and Asian markets. Our own variety - Stoplight - sets the standard for red onions shipped from the southern hemisphere. Stoplight red onions are known for their good storage, round bulb shape and superior dark red internal and external colour, which makes them ideal for adding colour to meals.
