As stunning as allium is, it can be a bit tricky to handle! Allium varieties contain alliin. The moment you cut the stem, it releases substances that can turn the stem orange, and worse, can cause stains on clothing that are almost impossible to remove. Pro tip: If you do get sap on your clothes, rinse immediately with cold water, and whatever you do, DON’T rub! Warm water will only set the pigment. Once it soaks in... those stains are there to stay. So, when working with allium, handle with care and keep those outfits safe! What kind of tips would you love to see from us next?
