Green onion

Description

Green onion, also known as scallion, has a fresh, slightly spicy-citrusy aroma and slender, light green stems with a delicate white bulb at the base. Its crunchy texture and milder flavor than regular onion make it valued as a raw addition and finishing touch to dishes. It is low in calories, rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as folic acid, fiber, and sulfur compounds with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which support immunity and cardiovascular health. Green onion pairs perfectly with salads, soups, omelets, Asian dishes, sauces, and grilled meats, adding freshness and color. To preserve its aroma, store it unwashed in the refrigerator in a perforated bag or wrapped in a paper towel in the vegetable drawer; use within a week, and it can also be chopped and frozen for longer storage.
