Calcot Onion Seeds
Estimated delivery between March 27 and March 30.
Onion, Calcot (Allium cepa) is a specialty onion variety traditionally grown in Catalonia, Spain. Known for its sweet, mild flavor and tender texture, it's typically harvested when the s are partially grown and long, offering an excellent addition to various dishes.
Features:
Appearance: Long, white s with thin green stalks, usually harvested before fully maturing.
Flavor: Very mild and sweet, less pungent compared to other onions. The tender s are perfect for grilling or roasting.
Texture: Soft and tender, especially when cooked, making it ideal for grilling or caramelizing.
Uses:
Grilling: Calcots are traditionally grilled over an open flame, then dipped in romesco sauce (a traditional Catalonian pepper-based sauce) and served as part of a festive meal.
Sautéing/Salads: Their sweetness and soft texture also make them suitable for sautéing, stir-fries, or adding a unique flavor to salads.
Planting Instructions:
Planting Depth: Calcots are typically grown from seeds or sets planted about 1 inch deep in well-drained, fertile soil.
Spacing: Space them 4-6 inches apart, ensuring ample room for them to grow tall with their long white s.
Season: Plant in the fall and harvest in early spring. They require a longer growing period and prefer cool-weather conditions, making them ideal for winter or early spring harvests.
