I'm looking for frozen pearl onions. Anyone know where to buy them?

I just picked some up at Fresh Co.

I bought some frozen pearl onions the other day at Whole Foods.

Won't they go all mushy when defrosted? If so, what do you use them for?

I have half a bag of pearl onions and no immediate recipe that will use them. So, I can just freeze them all up?

Ratty, we had some last night in a lamb stew. They weren't the least bit mushy, in fact, if I hadn't known they were frozen I would not have known the difference. Really handy to have on hand as I never used a whole bag at once and usually ended up wasting the rest of the bag. Ricelover, I don't know how you go about freezing them. You would likely have to blanch them first.

Yeah, pearl onions are pretty dense. I would trust them to keep their shape and consistency in the freezer.

Aye freeze well but remember to blanche first... freeze fast and thaw slow!

I'm also wondering if there is anywhere other than Whole Foods in town to get frozen pearl onions. I LOVE this product for beef carbonnade, roast veggies, and my kids' absolute favorite creamed peas and onions (I have weird kids) and would love a more convenient source!
