Onion Rossa Lunga di Firenze World Kitchen Seeds
Approx 300 seeds
A classic Tuscan heirloom, Onion Rossa Lunga di Firenze is renowned for its long, tapered pink bulbs with crisp white flesh. Highly versatile in the kitchen, it can be harvested young for use as a sweet salad onion or left to mature for a bolder, more pungent flavour. This variety is a staple in traditional Italian cooking, famously used in spring vegetable risotto and ideal for grilling, roasting, or enjoying raw.
