Spring Onion

Allium fistulosum

Allium fistulosum or Spring Onion. Spring onions look similar to green onions or scallions, but they have a small bulb at the base instead of a flatter white area. The flavour of spring onions is more intense than that of a scallion or green onion, but milder than a normal yellow cooking onion. The name comes from the fact that the cold hardy onion is planted in late autumn and harvested in the spring.
