Spring onions, also known as scallions, are a type of vegetable in the Allium family, related to garlic, onions, and leeks. They have a mild, slightly sweet flavor and are characterized by long, slender stalks with white bulbs at the base and green leaves at the top. Both the white and green parts are edible and are often used in salads, soups, stir-fries, and garnishes. They are rich in vitamins A, C, and K, and are commonly grown in gardens due to their easy cultivation.
