Description
Spring onions, also known as scallions or green onions, are a versatile and fast-growing vegetable that adds a fresh, mild onion flavor to a variety of dishes. With their slender white bulbs and long, green stalks, spring onions can be eaten raw in salads, grilled, or used as a garnish for soups and stir-fries.
These hardy plants thrive in full sun but can tolerate partial shade, making them ideal for garden beds, containers, or windowsill pots. Spring onions prefer well-drained, nutrient-rich soil and need regular watering to ensure the bulbs stay tender and juicy. They typically grow to a height of 30 to 50 cm, with thin, tubular leaves that can be continuously harvested.
Plant spring onion seeds or sets in early spring or late summer for year-round harvesting. They mature quickly, often within 30 to 60 days, and can be harvested at different stages for varying flavors – younger onions are sweeter, while mature ones have a sharper taste.
Spring onions are not only easy to grow but also rich in vitamins A and C, promoting healthy skin and boosting immunity. Their fresh flavor and versatility make them a must-have in every kitchen garden.
