The smallest member of the onion family, it is one of the few species native to both Europe and Asia. Its hollow leaves regrow after each cut, so a single pot can be harvested for years.

Consumption tip

Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
