The variety originates from the Masca region in the Canary Islands and is part of the local agricultural heritage. It is widely used in regional cuisine due to its flavor qualities.
Scientific studies of the chemical composition confirm the presence of phenolic compounds, flavonoids, organic acids, and sugars in the bulbs. Protein and ash content indicators in this variety are higher than in a number of compared varieties.
The variety is classified as traditional, while detailed agronomic characteristics, such as maturity dates, vegetation parameters, or disease resistance indicators, are absent in the documentation.
