White Flat May Onion
Grown for generations in the family garden, the white flat May onion is one of the first onions available in spring, valued for its quick growing cycle.
The White Flat May Onion Plant
Allium cepa early white belongs to the Amaryllidaceae family. It quickly develops a medium-sized flattened bulb, with thin, translucent outer skins suited to quick consumption after harvest.
How to Sow White Flat May Onion
Early sowing, between August and October, is key to an earlier spring harvest; seeds should be buried 1-2 centimetres deep in a cold-sheltered seedbed.
How to Grow White Flat May Onion
The short cycle requires already-fertile soil, since the plant has little time to absorb nutrients; regular watering further speeds up bulb development.
Tips for White Flat May Onion
It should be eaten within a few days of harvest, as its thin skins do not allow for long storage; it is best kept refrigerated if not used immediately.
Diseases and Pests of White Flat May Onion
It can be subject to downy mildew and neck rot in conditions of excessive soil moisture; common pests include onion fly and thrips.
Uses and Curiosities of White Flat May Onion
Its delicate taste and tender texture make it perfect for spring salads paired with fresh fava beans and pecorino, a classic of Italian country cooking.
Properties of White Flat May Onion
Like other white onions, it contains sulphur compounds with antibacterial properties and a good flavonoid content, plus a fair amount of vitamin C and potassium.
