About Green onions

Green onions, also known as scallions, are a versatile ingredient widely used in cuisines such as Chinese, Mexican, and Mediterranean. Originating from Asia, they have a mild onion flavor and consist of both green tops and white bases, making them perfect for raw garnishes or cooked dishes. Nutritionally, green onions are low in calories and rich in vitamins A, C, and K, which support immune health, skin health, and bone strength. They also contain antioxidants and compounds that may contribute to heart health. Green onions are naturally low in fat and cholesterol, making them a healthy addition to meals. However, like all alliums, they can cause digestive discomfort for some individuals sensitive to these vegetables. Whether you’re tossing them in salads, soups, or stir-fries, green onions bring both flavor and a boost of nutrition to your plate.
