A bunch of spring onions (also called scallions or green onions) is basically a small bundle of young onions with long green stalks and a mild white bulb at the base. They’re versatile, fresh, and add both flavor and crunch to dishes.
Here’s a quick guide:
🌿 What They Are
- Mild-flavored onions, harvested before the bulb fully develops
- Entire plant is edible: white base, light green middle, dark green tops
🥗 How to Use Them
- Raw: Chop green tops for salads, sandwiches, or garnishes
- Cooked: Sauté with garlic, stir-fries, soups, or omelets
- Pickled: Quick pickle for tacos, ramen, or rice bowls
🧪 Nutritional Benefits
- Low-calorie, rich in fiber
- Vitamin C and K
- Antioxidants that support heart health and immunity
- May help regulate blood sugar
💡 Tips
- Store in the fridge, standing in a jar with a little water for longer freshness
- Both white and green parts can be used; white is stronger, green is milder
- Wash thoroughly — dirt can hide in the roots
