CEBOLLÍN DE AJO

CEBOLLÍN DE AJO

韭菜 (jiǔ cài) · ニラ (nira) · 부추 (buchu)

Allium tuberosum

El cebollín de ajo se puede confundir con el pasto debido a sus hojas planas y anchas ¡pero lo reconocería por su olor! Tienen un fuerte olor y sabor a ajo. En Estados Unidos se cultivan a menudo con fines ornamentales, pero los pueblos chinos, japoneses y coreanos las han utilizado en la cocina durante al menos 3,000 años en sopas, dumplings, panqueques, salteados y con huevos.

GARLIC CHIVES

韭菜 (jiǔ cài) · ニラ (nira) · 부추 (buchu)

Allium tuberosum

Garlic chives can be confused with grass because of their flat, wide leaves, but you’ll know them by their smell! They have a strong garlic scent and flavor. In the United States they are often grown for ornamental use, but they have been used in cooking for at least 3,000 years by Chinese, Japanese and Korean peoples in soups, dumplings, pancakes, stir-fry and with eggs.

Why is this sign in Spanish?

Visitors to Duke Gardens speak many different languages. English and Spanish are two of the most common primary languages in our area today.

Reading a sign is generally an easier way to get information in the garden than scanning a QR code to go to a website for a translation, as you might have noticed! When our signs can only be printed in one language due to size constraints, we vary which language is on the sign and which is on the website so that both English and Spanish speakers have the opportunity to read signs in person.
