PARMA, ID, NOV. 8, 2022 –  Sunions®, America’s first tearless onion, are back in stores mid-November.  The game-changing onion you know, and love follows a tightly controlled brand promise that certifies them both tearless and sweet before they are able to be shipped to grocery stores.

Sunions® are grown in Nevada, Utah and Washington using an all-natural crossbreeding program to ensure a tearless, sweet and mild onion. Not crying in the kitchen allows you to go to your happy place and enjoy the simple pleasures of life, like creating memories in the kitchen.
