Onions are a simple ingredient in Once Human that will not give you any additional benefits, such as increasing your Sanity levels, but they are the key to unlocking a very special Deviant called the Grumpy Bulb.
Of course, although the onions themselves don't have special powers, they can still be a good addition to your meals and will sustain your character's Hunger and Energy levels. Let's take a look at how to obtain this plant and grow it on your farm.

Once Human Onions Location
Unlike most vegetables in Once Human, you cannot find onions in the wild, and you have to purchase them to plant them on your farm. Yes, there is a slight chance to get this vegetable as a random drop if you spend most of your time exploring, but the chances are very low.
However, buying the onions is easier, and all you have to do is go to Emma Potter. She is located at the Tall Grass Inn, which is in the eastern part of the Chalk Peak region. Once you get there, find the cliff after the Motel sign and climb to the top. Enter the building next to the Sandwich Shop, and you will find her.

Once Human How To Plant Onions
After getting the onion seeds, plant them on your Territory by using Planter Boxes, and you will never have to spend Energy Links on them again. The more onions you grow, the higher the chances are that one of them will transform into the Grumpy Bulb Deviant.
This little helper can confuse your enemies, making them fight each other instead of focusing on you. This can give you a huge strategic advantage by reducing the number of enemies targeting you.
