🧅 Plant Your Own Garden – Robust Color, Rich Flavor!
Roja de Zalla is a heritage red onion variety from Spain, known for its intensely red bulbs, spicy aroma, and firm flesh. Its strong flavor makes it ideal for curries, chutneys, parathas, and pickles. These onions are also excellent keepers, making them perfect for drying and long-term storage.
These open-pollinated, non-GMO seeds are well-suited to Pakistan’s winter growing season, best started in nursery beds and transplanted later.
