About Onions, spring or scallions (includes tops and bulb), raw
Scallions — green onions or spring onions — are young, mild members of the onion family, used for both the white bulb and the long green tops. Far gentler than a mature onion, they're as good raw, scattered over a finished dish for a fresh bite, as they are cooked into stir-fries and pancakes.
Low in calories, they bring vitamin K, vitamin C, folate and the onion family's beneficial sulfur compounds, with the green tops adding carotenoids and a little vitamin A. Used by the handful as a garnish, they punch above their nutritional weight.
Crisp, fresh and mild, scallions are one of the simplest ways to lift a dish — a sprinkle of the raw green tops brightens almost anything just before serving.
