ALBIK

The Albik onion is a variety characterized by round-flat bulbs of a beautiful yellow color, weighing up to 50 grams. The onion has a semi-sharp taste, making it versatile for various culinary purposes. One of the distinguishing features of the variety is the ability to produce high-quality foliage for cutting: up to 200 grams of tender and tasty foliage can be harvested from a single plant. The variety is distinguished by high and stable yield, good storage capacity, and long shelf life of bulbs, as well as suitability for autumn planting, which expands cultivation and harvest collection possibilities. Moreover, the Albik onion belongs to the category of family onions, or shallots, which are characterized by multi-budded bulbs forming in clusters of 4-10 pieces. The weight of a cluster can reach from 150 to 300 grams. Shallots are distinguished by rapid maturity: from planting to maturity takes only 50-70 days. The bulbs are dense, with a semi-sharp taste, store excellently for 10-12 months, without losing their qualities or drying out. The family onion leaves are thin, tender, and tasty, making them an excellent product for early cutting. The propagation of family onions occurs vegetatively, similar to garlic and potatoes: planting one bulb can yield up to ten large and quality bulbs by the end of the season. The newest family onion varieties, including Albik, are distinguished by large bulb sizes — up to 6-8 bulbs weighing up to 160 grams each can be found in one cluster. This makes the variety attractive to gardeners seeking to obtain both high-quality bulbs and foliage simultaneously.
