Spring onion — sibuyas dahon — is one of the everyday greens in a Filipino kitchen, used as garnish on lugaw, pancit and sinigang, stirred into fried rice, or chopped fresh over grilled dishes. It grows quickly in small plots and containers, so listings here come from both market gardeners and larger vegetable farms, and what is available changes through the year.
Spring onion is also called green onion or scallion, and in Tagalog it is sibuyas dahon, sibuyas dahonan or dahon ng sibuyas. Current FarmyHub listings sell it by the kilo, from ₱80 to ₱200 per kilo, from sellers in Cebu City, Taguig, Davao City, Manila and Cagayan de Oro.
Listings change with each harvest, but the range usually covers:
Fresh spring onion by the bundle: the usual retail format, sold in tied bunches for households and carinderias
Bulk lots by the kilo: larger volumes for wet-market vendors, restaurants and resellers
Seedlings and planting stock: for growers starting their own beds or containers
Check each listing for whether the price is per bundle or per kilo, and what the minimum order is, before comparing — spring onion is sold both ways.
These are the prices on current FarmyHub listings. Green onion and scallion are the same vegetable, so these are also the current green onion and scallion prices. All five listings are priced per kilo; none sells by the bundle right now, so message a seller if you only need a bunch or two.
Listing | Location | Price per kilo | Minimum order | Cost of the minimum order |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Cagayan de Oro City | ₱80 | 50 kg | ₱4,000 | |
Bankerohan, Davao City | ₱120 | 20 kg lot | ₱2,400 | |
Cebu City | ₱150 | 1 kg | ₱150 | |
Tondo, Manila | ₱150 | 1 kg | ₱150 | |
West Rembo, Taguig City | ₱200 | 15 kg (up to 50 kg) | ₱3,000 |

Spring onion goes by several names in the Philippines. They all mean the same vegetable:
Name | Language | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Sibuyas dahon | Tagalog | The most common name; dahon means leaf |
Sibuyas dahonan, sibuyas dahunan | Tagalog | Other spellings used in markets and recipes |
Dahon ng sibuyas | Tagalog | Onion leaves; also used for spring onion |
Spring onion | English | The usual English name in the Philippines |
Green onion | English | The same vegetable; common in recipes |
Scallion | English | The same vegetable, usually the young, straight-stemmed kind |
Chives, kutsay and onion leeks are different vegetables, not other names for spring onion.
Spring onion wilts quickly in the heat, so store it as soon as it arrives:
Method | How | Keeps for about |
|---|---|---|
At room temperature | Stand the roots in a glass of water, out of direct sun | 1 to 3 days |
In the refrigerator | Wrap in a paper towel and keep in a plastic bag or container | Up to about 1 week |
In the freezer | Wash, dry and chop, then freeze in a sealed bag | A few months; best for cooking, as it turns soft |
When buying, choose bright green, firm leaves and a clean white base, and avoid leaves that are slimy or turning yellow.
Growers post from vegetable-producing areas across Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao. Because the leaves wilt quickly, most sellers arrange local pickup or same-area delivery, so check each listing's delivery terms before ordering.
Households buying a bundle or two for daily cooking. Carinderias, lugawan and restaurants ordering regularly. Wet-market vendors and resellers taking bulk lots. Home gardeners buying seedlings to grow their own.
FarmyHub is the marketplace, not the farm. We do not grow, cut, pack or deliver any of the produce listed here. Each grower manages their own harvest, sets their own price, and arranges pickup or delivery with you directly through the platform chat.

Sibuyas dahon is spring onion, also called green onion or scallion. It is sometimes written as sibuyas dahunan or sibuyas dahonan.
Spring onions, green onions and scallions are the same plant sold at slightly different stages — scallions are harvested youngest, with a straight white base, while spring onions have a small bulb. Chives are a different plant: thinner, hollow leaves with a milder flavour, usually used as a finishing herb rather than a cooking ingredient.
Sa FarmyHub ngayong Oktubre 2026, ₱80 hanggang ₱200 kada kilo ang sibuyas dahon. Pinakamura ang ₱80 kada kilo sa Cagayan de Oro, pero 50 kilo ang minimum order. Kung kaunti lang ang kailangan, may ₱150 kada kilo sa Cebu City at Tondo, Manila na puwedeng isang kilo lang. Itanong muna sa seller ang presyo at delivery bago mag-order.
Green onion and scallion are both called sibuyas dahon in Tagalog, also written sibuyas dahonan or dahon ng sibuyas. They are the same vegetable as spring onion.
Wrap them in a paper towel and keep them in a bag in the refrigerator, where they keep for up to about a week. For longer storage, chop and freeze them for cooking. See the storage table above.
