====''Allium''====
Vegetable crops belonging to the genus ''Allium'', such as {{wp|onion}}, {{wp|garlic}}, {{wp|scallion}}, {{wp|shallot}}, {{wp|leek}}, and {{wp|chives}}, are a highly important crop in Kiravian cuisine, and have been so since [[Prehistory of Great Kirav|prehistoric times]]. These crops are, as appropriate to each species, grown throughout the arable regions of Great Kirav. The most productive ''Allium''-growing regions, however, are [[Kaviska]], the interior plains surrounding the [[Lake Belt]], and [[Farravonia]]. Farravonia is also the main garlic, shallot, and chive-growing region. Under the traditional caste-based economy, most onion and leek production in the Kir-majority regions was undertaken by ethnic minorities, namely the [[Ĥeiran Coscivians|Kempans and Kyrnans]].

Leeks grow exceptionally well in the upper-middle latitudes of the continent on account of their preference for cooler climatic conditions.


The artisanal gathering of {{wp|wild onions}} for soup and other cooking is still widely practised in rural Kirav, and as a hobby in suburban areas.
