Green scallions, commonly referred to as green onions, are a versatile ingredient found in cuisines worldwide, including Asian, Mexican, and American dishes. This vibrant vegetable consists of a white bulb and tender green stalk, both offering mild onion flavor with a hint of sweetness. Packed with essential nutrients, scallions are an excellent source of vitamin K and vitamin C, supporting bone health and immune function. They are low in calories, fat-free, and contain small amounts of fiber, aiding digestion. Rich in antioxidants like quercetin, scallions help combat oxidative stress and promote cardiovascular health. Additionally, they contain compounds such as allicin, which may contribute to anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial benefits. Their delicate flavor makes them perfect for salads, soups, stir-fries, and as a garnish. While scallions are largely healthy, excessive consumption may cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort in individuals sensitive to onions.
