Egyptian Walking Onions

Description

Allium proliferum

Also called Tree Onions, Winter Onions, or Perennial Onions. These onions seem to walk because at the end of a leaf stalk, a cluster of bulblets will grow, become top heavy and fall, and root into the soil to create more! The bulblets reach maturity in late summer and look like mini versions of the parent plant. Egyptian Walking Onions taste just like a regular onion, only more exciting! The entire plant can be eaten. Small onions form at the base in the soil and can be eaten and prepared just like any other onion. The hollow greens may be chopped to eat like chives or green onions. The bulblets are excellent when peeled and fried. You can even pickle them, or just pop them in your mouth like popcorn!

1 oz is approximately 10 walking onion bulbs.
