Onions

The Aromatic Heartbeat: Our Northern Onions

If the tomato is the soul of the stew, the onion is its undeniable heartbeat. It is the first sound you hear in the kitchen—the sizzle in the pan that promises a delicious meal to come. We believe this foundational ingredient should be as fresh and potent as possible. That’s why our onions are harvested only when you order them, ensuring they arrive at your door with their layers crisp, their aroma sharp, and their flavour complex and ready to transform your cooking.

Experience the Freshness & Flavour

Forget the soft, sprouting onions that have sat for too long. An Agrikonect onion is firm to the touch and heavy for its size. When you slice it, the layers are crisp and release a pungent, eye-watering aroma—the true sign of a fresh, powerful onion. Whether you’re sweating it down to create a sweet, savoury base for your jollof or slicing it raw for a refreshing crunch in your salad, you will notice a depth of flavour that elevates every dish.

From the Rich Soils of the North

We partner with proud farmers like Al-Hassan, who cultivates his onions in the fertile plains of the Northern Region, a place renowned for producing Ghana’s most flavourful alliums. He uses traditional methods, allowing the bulbs to mature fully in the sun-drenched earth to develop their signature pungency and lasting quality. Your purchase supports his family and sustains the agricultural heritage of his community.

The Ultimate Kitchen Workhorse

There is hardly a savoury dish in Ghana that doesn’t begin with an onion. Our fresh onions are perfect for:

• The Trinity: The essential first ingredient in the pot, sautéed with ginger and pepper to build the base of all stews and soups.

• Jollof Perfection: Provides the deep, aromatic sweetness that is crucial for an authentic, flavourful jollof.

• Raw & Crisp: Thinly sliced to garnish your kenkey and fish, or added to salads for a sharp, crunchy contrast.

• Grilling & Roasting: Perfect for kebabs (chichinga) or roasting alongside chicken, where it becomes sweet and tender.
