Scallion seed is the seed of the scallion (葱), and the original entry opens by identifying it outright as chongja (葱子), "scallion seed." The Dongui Bogam does not give it a full entry of its own; it appears as an appended entry under scallion white (chongbaek, 葱白), the white lower stalk of the scallion. In early summer the scallion sends up a globe-shaped flower head, and in its place angular black seeds ripen. Even today, scallion farming begins with saving and sowing these seeds.
