About Scallions

Scallions, also known as green onions, are slender vegetables with a mild onion flavor. They feature a white bulb and tender green stalks, both of which are edible. Native to Asia, scallions are widely used in cuisines around the world, particularly Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Mexican dishes. They add a fresh, crisp taste to soups, salads, stir-fries, and garnishes. Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, scallions boast antioxidants that promote immune health and combat inflammation. They're also a source of fiber, aiding digestion, and contain small amounts of calcium, potassium, and iron. Low in calories and fat-free, they make a healthy addition to a balanced diet. However, scallions have a high water content and should be stored properly to avoid spoilage. For individuals with food sensitivities, consuming scallions in excessive amounts may cause digestive discomfort. When eaten in moderation, scallions are a nutritious and flavorful addition to any meal.
