Kaigaro & Rossa Lunga di Firenze (SEED TAPE)

The ‘Kaigaro & Rossa Lunga di Firenze’ mix from the Profi-Line combines the different characteristics of spring onions and shallots in the best possible way. ‘Rossa lunga di Firenze’ is a mild, red shallot that is very vigorous. It has upright green leaves that are sturdy and strong. In general, the spicy shallot leaves can be harvested almost continuously. The foliage is ideal in soups, for raw vegetables, for seasoning quark and cheese, and for steaming or gratinating. ‘Kaigaro’, the second variety on the seed carpet, is a mildly spicy spring onion without bulb formation, which has a long, white stalk. It is also extremely vigorous and robust, but also convinces with its particularly high yields.

Spring onions are quite spicy, but have a much milder taste than other onions. They are also referred to as a milder, more tender alternative to leeks. This is precisely why they are a popular component in Chinese and Japanese dishes. All of these advantages are combined in this mixture. The carpet of seeds enables easy and quick sowing, also in tubs and raised beds. From July you can then harvest your home-grown, tasty onions.
