Flowers of Allium chinense
Distribution [ edit ]
Allium chinense is native to China (in Anhui , Fujian , Guangdong , Guangxi , Guizhou , Hainan , Henan , Hubei , Hunan , Jiangxi , and Zhejiang provinces).[3] It is naturalized in other parts of Asia as well as in North America .[3] [8] [9]
Culinary [ edit ]
Owing to its very mild and "fresh" taste, A. chinense is often pickled and served as a side dish in Japan and Vietnam to balance the stronger flavor of some other component in a meal. For example, in Japanese cuisine , it is eaten as a garnish on Japanese curry .[10]
In Vietnam, pickled A. chinense , known as củ kiệu , is often served during Tết (Lunar New Year).[citation needed ]
In Japanese , it is known as rakkyō (辣韮or 薤 ) . Glass bottles of white rakkyō bulb pickles are sold in Asian supermarkets in North America.[11]
Medicinal [ edit ]
Allium chinense is used as a folk medicine in tonics to help the intestines , and as a stomachic .[12]
