Waitrose is to start selling a type of onion that won't make you cry when you peel it.
Called Sunions, the onion variety is dubbed the first 'tearless and sweet onion variety' and goes on sale this month.
It will be ideal for those with sensitive eyes or who have to peel and chop onions with children around.
After being available in the United States for four years, they come to Britain next Tuesday.
Paul Bidwell, Onion Buyer at Waitrose told MailOnline : ‘We understand how a-peeling tearless onions are to our customers which is why we’re delighted to launch Sunions in selected stores and via Waitrose.com from January 18.
"Ideal for taking the tears out of the kitchen, the sweetness of this type of onion lends itself perfectly to a variety of dishes, from salads to hot meals."
Waitrose says: "Sunions are the first tearless and sweet onion variety, perfect for those with sensitive eyes as well as cooking in the kitchen with children.
"The mild flavour makes them perfect for use in cooking while they can also be used raw in a salad.’
The Spanish grown onions - the result of years of cross breeding - will cost £1.50 for a pack of three.
