Guangwu Scallions

Guangwu Scallions

Guangwu Scallions are a protected geographical indication product.

　　The "Guangwu Scallions" are produced in an area bordering the Yellow River to the north. Thanks to the region’s air humidity, soil moisture, and the unique white sandy soil of Mangling, these scallions boast long white stems, delicate flesh, a crisp and stringless texture, a mildly spicy and slightly sweet flavor, and a fragrant aroma, making them highly favored by consumers. Testing by the Ministry of Agriculture's Agricultural Product Quality Supervision and Inspection Center (Zhengzhou) found that "Guangwu Scallions" contain 29.4 mg/kg of vitamin C, 1.87% crude fat, 2.28% dietary fiber, 483 mg/kg of calcium, and 8.89 mg/kg of iron — nearly double the content of ordinary scallions.

　　The "Overlord Scallion" earns its name from its tall plants (1.3–1.5 meters), high purity, abundant yield, and rich nutrition. Its white stem can reach 50–60 centimeters, is clean, tender, and crisp, with a sweet flavor that remains delicious even when cooked, making it a delicacy cherished by food connoisseurs and master chefs. A 40,000-mu scallion production base has been established in Jinshui District, yielding around 3,000 kg per mu, with an average profit of 3,500–5,000 yuan per mu.

　　The protected geographical indication area for Guangwu Scallions covers the administrative regions of four towns in Xingyang City, Henan Province: Guangwu Town, Gaocun Township, Wangcun Town, and Chengguan Township.
