Experience the vibrant charm of the Wenta variety of red spring onions, known for their generous yield and medium to late maturation period. Each bulb is notable for its large size, uniform shape, and slightly flattened appearance, with a weight in the range of 90-100 grams. The distinctively firm, juicy flesh of the Wenta variety, adorned with decorative purple-white hues, offers a mild, aromatic, and well-rounded taste that is a delight in culinary applications.

Renowned for their subtler flavor compared to their yellow counterparts, red spring onions make a striking addition to salads, coleslaws, and a variety of dishes, enhancing them with their unique aroma. This variety is particularly suited for complementing the flavors of meat and mushroom dishes. Its milder taste is a perfect match for fish, poultry, and pasta dishes, without dominating the palate. Beyond their culinary appeal, red spring onions are a powerhouse of nutrition, packed with flavonoids—potent antioxidants that contribute to the prevention of lifestyle-related diseases.

Spring onions present an excellent opportunity for gardeners to cultivate their own supply of onions, offering a continuous harvest of tasty greens throughout the growing season and mature bulbs for use during the autumn and winter. They thrive in warm, sunny, and sheltered spots with humus-rich, consistently moist soil. Prior to planting, ensure the soil is well-loosened and clear of weeds and stones. Planting should be done in early spring, from March to April, with the bulbs spaced in rows 20-40 cm apart and 7-15 cm between each bulb, adopting denser spacing for those desiring fresh greens.

Included in this package is 0.25 kg of red spring onion bulbs of the Wenta variety, poised to bring both beauty and nutritional value to your garden and meals.
