Allium fistulosum

Vegetable

Allium fistulosum

S tier

Allium fistulosum is the Welsh or bunching onion—perennial hollow-leaf allium that never forms large bulbs, harvested as spring onions/scallions year-round in mild climates. Flavour is fresh onion-green without storage-onion heaviness. Essential across East Asian cooking as negi and more. Slice raw, grill, or simmer in soups. Species identity covers true bunching onions versus baby Allium cepa pulled early. Cut-and-come-again from clumps.
