The quality suffers a bit because of the water in the vegetable. The water will expand and the cell walls will burst and the onion will be very limp when it's thawed.
However, if you're using it straight from freezer to cooking, it shouldn't be a problem. I wouldn't eat it raw, but cooked from frozen (for instance, in a soup or in a recipe beginning with sauteed onion) it should be fine.

Subject: [frozen-assets] Can you freeze raw onions?
I have frozen cooked onions before and they freeze fine. But can you freeze raw onions? My husband is going away for a couple of weeks and he is my onion chopper-uperer! No matter how many different ways I try of chopping onions by the time I have chopped even half a one I am in tears (I have tried things like freezing the onion before I chop it up, chopping them up under a lowing tap etc).
With thanks,
