Egyptian onions, also known as tree onions, and walking onions, are very prolific. They grow a regular onion bulb, but they also produce small onion bulblets at the top of the plant, which eventually fall over and start a new plant as they “walk” across the garden.
These bulblets can be harvested as small onion bulbs and used in any recipe. They are especially delicious as pickled onions.
