Best harvested young, it is an excellent choice when a quick crop of tender onions is wanted rather than a variety intended for lengthy storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mild flavour and firm, juicy texture make Aviv particularly good for eating fresh. Slice the young bulbs into salads and sandwiches, marinate them with herbs and vinegar, or harvest them small for pickling whole. They can also be used anywhere a gentle onion flavour is preferred without overpowering other ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnions have been cultivated since ancient times, with their origins generally traced to Central and Southwest Asia. Their ability to store, travel and provide flavour made them an important food crop throughout the ancient world and eventually gave rise to an enormous diversity of regional varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAviv is particularly useful for gardeners wanting an early crop and performs best from autumn sowings. Unlike longer-keeping storage onions, the bulbs are best used relatively soon after harvest while their texture and flavour are at their finest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants prefer full sun and rich, fertile, well-drained soil. Consistent moisture encourages rapid, even growth, although onions dislike waterlogged conditions and excessive fertilising should be avoided.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeed count: approximately 240–400 seeds\/g\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 100 seeds per packet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTropics: Autumn to winter\u003cbr\u003eSubtropics: Autumn to winter\u003cbr\u003eMild climates: Autumn to winter\u003cbr\u003eCold climates: Autumn where winters are suitable, or according to local onion-growing conditions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow approximately 5–10 mm deep into prepared soil, seedbeds or trays.

For more mature bulbs, allow the tops to naturally yellow and fall before lifting. Cure briefly in a dry, well-ventilated position, but use relatively promptly as Aviv is not intended for long-term storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDue to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eden Seeds ","offers":[{"title":"Packet","offer_id":47147067834586,"sku":null,"price":3.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10g","offer_id":47147072618714,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/4866\/8890\/files\/download_078dca1e-c4d3-48e1-b74f-27d0b7f47667.jpg?v=1763438805","url":"https:\/\/www.edenseeds.com.au\/products\/onion-aviv","provider":"Eden Seeds ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
