What are green onions?
Green onions, spring onions, or scallions are thin onions with white bases and edible green tops. They’re found in every grocery store. They can be eaten raw or cooked briefly. When buying green onions, select bunches that have firm white bases and crisp, bright green tops. They last in the refrigerator for about 5 days.
