This are diferent wariaty of the same plant. First one is only for top, second One is for top and underground parts to be used in kitchen.
Our food industry is not monopoluzed so you can find many kiedy of diferent plants.
different flavour profiles and texture
My favorite is third one, very thin.
One is leek, other is parsley 🤣
As a Pole living in Ireland I can confirm that there are many types of veggies that are traditionally and commonly available in Poland, but nowhere to be found in Ireland.
Dude that’s a leek
on left are Green Onions, middle Spring Onions, right Por.
The left one are just spring onions, while the right ones go as large spring onions 😂
As someone who regularely gets young leeks stright from a garden: the ones on the left look just like young leeks we get, in the middle it looks like onion with chives and on the right it is older leek for sure. I have no idea how closely onion and leek are related but I can see two leeks and one onion in this picture. And some carrots as well 😉

2 types? We have at least 5 variation of this on the right: Fortel, Jowisz, Prazska, Splendidus, Wulkan. For the left-like spring onion also at least the same amount. You underestimate our onion power.
We have them in the UK… we also have purple versions of the ones on the right. I think Waitrose call them “continental spring onions” or something like that.
TIL what a spring onion is
Am I the only one triggered by the OP calling one of them young one and the other old one? These are two different varieties of spring onions. Their size has nothing to do with the fact that one is picked earlier and the other later.

Besides, when you see several varieties of apples (or salads/tomatoes/potatoes) in the store, do you also ask how they differ and why offer more than one?
One is spring onions and one is chives.
You get both types in the UK supermarkets.
I dont care I use it for food.
Wait till you see rhe celery.
Correct me if I am wrong, but the one’s on the left are what we call in English spring onions, the one on the right ( bulby) seed catalogs call over overwinter onions because you plant them in the fall and then they bulb up early in the spring. I do not think the left ones are chives, they are too thick.
I usually plant my over winter onions in September, and they are ready in late April, whereas I am planting my spring onions indoor next week to transplant in late March, early April outside.
Isn’t it like you also have chives and green onions?
Why? we need different types to cook dinner of course. We have more onions then two.

Spring onions and chives are very common around the world, not only in Poland.
The reason is the same as to why there’s many types of potatoes, apples and so on. It’s nice. They are good for different things. Monoculture is sad.
Because the one on the right is leek and a spring onion.
Leek, spring onions, chives
I’m baffled by the amount saying there are chives in this photo. There are no chives in this photo as I understand
leek, spring onion, celery
Why not?
Not sure. But I do know that 95%of foreigners that move to Poland only do so because of the 2 onion 🧅 choice . Didn’t know that did ya.
I’ve seen those in Sainsbury’s but not sure if Ireland has Sainsbury’s?
Because we can. We are very rich & powerful country. /s
One is made spesifically counter vampires
When you eat this much onions you develop discerning taste. You need the right onion at the right point in it’s life cycle.
We call the far left ones leeks in America. They’re all just different varieties of onions, but my family always grew leeks because it’s what we used the most for cooking. The thin ones are better as garnishes I think.
Because we can!
I can’t speak as a citizen of Poland but I can speak as a produce man. Your left side is is a basic green onion. Your right side is pencil green onions. You can actually get a lot more use out of the bulbs and I use them as shallot replacement, so I prefer those personally
Good soup! Thing grow big in Poland? I guess.
Why? Because we can.
Might sounds like a stupid answer, but It’s actually not. For example, in France if you sell on the market tomatoes or any kind of non-official variety of vegetables, you are eligible for 500 euros penalty fee. It’s due to big companies that lobby for their industrial seeds. So if you are a farmer and want to sell tomatoes, you can’t just choose among thousands of existing possibilities. You need to stick to an official list, and you need to buy allowed seeds.
This is the World we live in.
You mean the thing on the left ? That’s a leek not an onion
Well yes but also we always had enough potatoes unlike you
Idk man i guess we just like our big spring onions
Here in The Netherlands we have both too
You can ask your grocery/ vegetable store for more variety
