looks to me as if this Gent. by using onion sets is producing
scallions...........
Scallions are also known as green onions and refer to a distinct variety of
immature onions. The vegetable has a white base that has not fully developed
into a bulb and green leaves that are long and straight. Both parts are
edible. Store in the refrigerator, wrapped for up to five days. They can be
eaten raw or cooked in numerous dishes from soups to salads.
