Spring Onions
Spring onions reach their peak between May and September, flourishing during the British summer. Available year-round, they offer a mild, crisp alternative to mature onions, perfect for raw or lightly cooked applications. They are a low-calorie source of vitamins K and C, providing a fresh, aromatic finish to dishes.
