Get 3 adult plants, already producing. They will reproduce on their own. That is why they are called walking onions.
- Appearance: A unique perennial onion that produces clusters of small, edible bulbils at the top of its flower stalks. These bulbils, often called "topsets," are what give the plant its "walking" name, as they can drop to the ground and root, forming new plants. The leaves are long and slender, similar to chives.

Egyptian Spinach: A Brief Description
Egyptian Spinach, also widely known as Molokhia (or Jew's Mallow, Jute Mallow, and Corchorus olitorius), is a highly nutritious leafy green vegetable with a long history, particularly in Egypt and the Middle East.+-
Appearance and Growth: It is a fast-growing, heat-loving annual (or perennial in frost-free regions) that grows into a bushy plant, often reaching several feet in height. The edible parts are the young leaves and tender stems.
Key Characteristic: When cooked in water or broth, Egyptian Spinach develops a distinctive mucilaginous or slippery texture, often compared to okra. This texture is due to its high content of soluble dietary fiber.
Nutritional Powerhouse: It is exceptionally rich in vitamins and minerals, including Vitamins A, C, E, and K, as well as potassium, calcium, iron, and magnesium. Some sources indicate it has significantly more nutrients, like calcium and beta-carotene, than traditional spinach.
Culinary Use: It is a staple food in Egyptian, Middle Eastern, and African cuisines. The most famous preparation is a traditional soup or stew called Molokhia, where the leaves are finely chopped and cooked with garlic, coriander, and often chicken or rabbit broth, and typically served over rice. It can also be eaten raw in salads or dried and used as a soup thickener or tea.
