 Scallions

Scallions Are Actually Just Very Immature Onions. If You Look at the Bottom of the Scallion You Can See the White Part That Would Turn Into the White Onion We Know and Love (or Hate, I Suppose!). The Green Tops of Scallions Provide More Vitamin C, Folate, Calcium and Beta-carotene, Ounce for Ounce Than Full Grown Onions.
