Lampascioni alla contadina - Wild onions in olive oil (280g)

Discover our wild onions in olive oil grown in the San Severo region (Gargano, Puglia, Italy). A true legacy of Italian peasant cuisine, these small wild onions called in the Pugliese dialect lampascioni “Lambachoul” alla contadina or lampascioni alla pugliese are in reality the bulb of a wild plant: Muscari comosum (Leopoldia comosa). They grow on rocky ground and are recognizable when the plant flowers (a sort of purple grape hyacinth). HAS At this point, the walnut-sized bulbs are harvested and blanched in boiling vinegar water. Then, they are drained and then preserved in This little-known vegetable is a real treasure for health! It has been used since ancient times for its purifying, diuretic and laxative properties and reduces blood pressure and cholesterol.
