Spring onions are a mild onion that can be eaten raw in salads or used as a substitute for standard onion varieties when you desire a less pungent taste. They are closely related to green onions and scallions, but unlike these other varieties, spring onions have a distinct bulb. Growing spring onions from bulbs or "sets" is often easiest, but you can also grow them by seed. | Spring onions are a mild onion that can be eaten raw in salads or used as a substitute for standard onion varieties when you desire a less pungent taste.

If this occurs, trim off the decayed portion with a sharp knife or shears as you pull the onions up. | #Remove any rotted set.
