Onion – White Star

£1.39

Onion White Star is truly a versatile variety, offering the ability to harvest three types of onions from a single sowing. They have a delicate, sweet flavour and are ideal for use in a wide array of cooking applications, from roasting and caramelising to adding fresh crunch to salads.

Firstly, when thinning your plants, the tender shoots can be used as a spring onion. It then can be used to produce continental-sized salad onions with their vibrant green stems and crisp, mild white bulbs. Alternatively, if left to fully mature, it will develop into an impressive, snow-white onion.
