Spring Onions

Spring onions are comprised of small round to oval bulbs, averaging 2 to 5 centimeters in diameter, attached to a straight, layered stalk of overlapping leaves. The bulbs are smooth, firm, crisp, and succulent, found in bright white to red hues, depending on the variety. There may also be a cluster of fresh, flexible, and fine tan roots attached to the bulb’s base. The slender, tubular leaves have a stiff, thick, and crunchy consistency and are hollow, bearing dark green hues on the edges and lightening to a pale green tone near the bulb. Spring onion bulbs contain sugars and are absent of the gases developed in more mature bulbs, creating a sweet and mild, mellow flavor. The leaves have a stronger taste and contribute herbaceous, pungent, and grassy nuances.

STORAGE:
Short term: If you’re planning to use your spring onions within a couple of days, it’s OK to leave them on the counter, as long as your kitchen is not extremely hot. After about three days, they’ll start to show signs of wilting.
Long term: Looking to have those onions last a while? Then it’s best to keep spring onions in the refrigerator. They contain more moisture than mature onions, so keeping them out at room temperature for longer than a couple of days could cause them to mold. Keep them in the crisper drawer, sealed well in a plastic bag, and they’ll stay fresh for about two weeks.

FUN FACTS & TIPS
Spring onions, botanically classified as Allium cepa, are young onion plants that have been harvested prematurely, belonging to the Amaryllidaceae family. The term Spring onion is a general descriptor used to encompass many different varieties of storage or bulb onions that are pulled before the bulb has a chance to swell and mature to a large size. Spring onions are harvested approximately 2 to 3 months after planting and provide bright, fresh flavors, often viewed as one of the first vegetables of spring. The onions are also entirely edible, including the leaves and bulb, and can be utilized fresh or cooked. It is important to note that green onions and Spring onions are different despite the term Spring onion being used interchangeably for both types of onions in the United Kingdom and Canada. Spring onions have a slightly more robust flavor and develop small round bulbs, while green onions do not grow true bulbs and have a milder flavor.
