Onion SCYTHE SWORD

The Allium fistulosum 'Scythe Sword' variety is a hardy perennial variety intended for growing greens. The plants are powerful and erect, reaching heights of up to 100 cm, and do not form a marketable bulb. In the year of sowing, selective harvesting is carried out from mid-summer by pulling out excess plants entirely. In the second and subsequent years, cutting of the green tops begins just 35-40 days after the start of regrowth, which allows for obtaining fresh greens for a long period.

The leaves of this variety are tender, have a pleasant mild sharp taste and aroma. They quickly regrow after cutting and do not toughen for a long time, which makes Allium fistulosum 'Scythe Sword' ideal for use in salads, garnishing dishes, and making sandwiches. The average mass of the productive part is 220-270 grams, which ensures a good yield of greens from each plant.

In addition to taste qualities, Allium fistulosum 'Scythe Sword' is a treasure trove of vitamins and useful microelements, including vitamins A, C, group B, as well as iron, phosphorus, zinc, carotene, potassium, and magnesium. It contributes to the normalization of metabolism, reduction of cholesterol levels, improvement of heart and cardiovascular system function, and strengthening of immunity. The variety is distinguished by its resistance to diseases and pests, which facilitates care and increases the reliability of cultivation.
