Seasons/Availability
Purplette Scallions are available year round.
Description/Taste
Purplette scallions, also known simply as purple scallions, are deliciously mild and sweet flavored. Harvested with its contrasting green top, this cute little onion is ready to eat when it is anywhere between the size of a nickel and a quarter.
Applications
To prepare, wash and remove the roots and most of the green tops. Dice the flavorful edible tops; use like chives. Cut bulbs into desired size pieces; enhance fresh mixed green salads with this onion's excellent flavor. Sauté or roast whole; serve as a tasty and complementary garnish for grilled, roasted or sautéed meats. Ideal for soups, casseroles and stews. Brush with olive oil; wrap in foil; grill just until the interior is tender and the skins are crispy. Yum. Offering a sweeter flavor than common scallions, the rich purple color of these tiny onion sweeties turns pastel to pale pink when cooked. To store, refrigerate in a plastic bag.
