Continental Salad Onions

Recommended Posts

you could try these 2 their bunching onions with is what the spring onions in the shops

ONION EIFFEL SALAD

ONION GUARDSMAN SALAD

and there are a couple of Italian ones and also a of couple red ones that are sweeter than the white ones but do tend to bulb North Holland Blood Red works as a spring onion and a very good bulb onion if your lucky enough to be able to grow onions from seed sown straight into the ground then North Holland is one to grow use the thinning's as salad onions then leave the rest to grow on

Nothing like the continental ones though - they are around 4 times the thickness of your normal shop bought spring onions.

I will give the red ones a shot this year - they look nice anyhow.

that just means they've been grown on longer, their probably from Spain or Mexico this time of year might be Israel as they tend to get hot in taste from a cooler climate the longer/bigger they grow

We bought some homegrown (not by us) onions that look like this (well a bit more misshapen :D )in the local market today in Portugal. We haven't eaten any yet, and will report back when we do, so not sure what they are like. But they will have been grown locally to us.

''I sowed a row of Rossa Lunga Di Firenze along side my carrots yesterday mainly as a guard against carrot fly but also as a catch crop of spring onions I'll run them on longer to see how they fair as bigger salad onions
