About Scallion

A scallion is a young onion harvested for its slender green leaves and small white base, before forming a large mature bulb. It is usually sold in bunches, with both the white and green portions used.

The white part is crisp and more pungent, while the green leaves are milder and tender. Scallions are used raw as a garnish or cooked in a wide range of savoury foods. They are also called green onions; related bunching onions can be similar in appearance.
