You’ll often see these called hungarian hot wax peppers. They’re the variety that you’ll find pickled and on a salad bar, or as a pizza topping option. You can use them any way you would a jalapeno, or other medium spicy pepper.
We’ve seen the full growth of these onions this season. Now the bulbs are fully formed and the greens not so nice. Aidan from Nichols Farm says if he “had to choose a time of the year where the onions have the perfect mix of size, flavor intensity, and freshness, it would be these next few weeks. “
Nichols are calling these ‘spring onions’, but I would call them ‘early summer onions.’ Compared to the ones we got just a couple weeks ago, the bulbs have started to substantially form, and the top greens are a little more gnarly. We can attest that they are pungent (a few tears were shed trimming them).
