O Is for Onion
O is for Onion.
These are Welsh onion, a type of bunching onion. They aren't Welsh. They are perennial, so I only winter sowed them once. Originally I grew them for the flowers, however I now use them as green onions.
Before the bud opens.
It must be so cool to cook with plants you grew.
ReplyDeleteIt is! I don't use a lot of big onion bulbs, just in chili or stews, I like the taste, but not the texture of them cooked. So, when I need just a little onion these are great. Plus perennial!
DeleteWelsh onions aren’t Welsh. I wonder how they got their name,
ReplyDeleteWelsh comes from the German word for foreign or not-native, "walsch". It's native to China. A lot of things could be called Welsh in that case!
