The "Red" spring onion, also known as Allium fistulosum, actually displays a deep purple colour at its base, despite its name. This darker shade suggests it's richer in antioxidants, which are excellent for your health. Its flavour is sweet and mild, making it extremely versatile in the kitchen. It’s perfect for adding a subtle, flavourful touch to salads or as a garnish, without overpowering other ingredients. Plus, that vivid purple really pops on the plate, giving your meals a visual boost along with a nutritional one.
