The Energy onion is a mid-early variety of bunching onion, designed for cultivation in open ground from early spring to late autumn. The plants are characterized by strong growth and rapid accumulation of vegetative mass, reaching heights of up to 40 cm. The leaves have a medium thickness, dark green color with a bluish tint and a weak waxy coating. A distinctive feature of this variety is the lack of bulb formation, which makes it ideal for obtaining juicy greens.
This onion variety is distinguished by high resistance to diseases such as fusarium wilt and downy mildew, which ensures good preservation and ease of harvest collection. The leaves remain juicy for a long time and do not toughen, allowing them to be used in fresh form for salads and other dishes. Due to its characteristics, Energy is an excellent choice for those who appreciate quality greens with a rich flavor.
In addition, Energy onion is excellent for growing microgreens, which are characterized by a high content of vitamins and minerals, including iron, potassium, calcium, zinc, magnesium, as well as vitamins A, C, B1, B2, B6 and PP. Microgreens have antibacterial, antitumor, and antifungal properties, which makes them a useful addition to delicate dishes. For growing microgreens, dense planting with minimal distance between seeds, abundant watering, and creating a greenhouse effect are recommended. Microgreens can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days.
