About Onion leaves

Onion leaves, commonly known as green onion or scallion tops, are the tender, elongated green shoots of young onions. A staple in various cuisines, particularly Asian, Mexican, and Mediterranean, these leaves add subtle onion flavor and vibrant color to dishes. Rich in vitamins A and C, they contribute to immune support and skin health. Onion leaves also offer iron, calcium, and antioxidants, which boost overall wellness. Low in calories and fat-free, they are a heart-healthy choice, aiding in blood pressure regulation and digestive health due to their fiber content. However, their sulfur compounds, while beneficial for reducing inflammation, may cause sensitivity in some individuals. Versatile in use, onion leaves are perfect in salads, soups, stir-fries, and garnishes, delivering both flavor and nutrition to meals without compromising on health.
