Tseng Lin-chuan, who is in his sixties, worked for the Taiwan Railway for more than 40 years. Immediately after his retirement, he devoted himself to his father's farmland and expanded it to an area of 0.7 hectares. Playing in the fields when he was a child, he was no stranger to farming. After retirement, he recalled his childhood memories and returned to his hometown of Haoshan and Haoshui to grow organic yams, green onions and vegetables.

Unlike Ilan Sanxing onions, the green parts of "mink onions" are soft, white, spicy and sweet, and there is enough water.

It can be preserved for about 6 days.
