Spring onions, also known as scallions, are a versatile vegetable characterized by their mild, fresh onion flavor. They feature a slender, green stalk topped with a small, immature white bulb. The entire plant, from the dark green leaves to the white base, is edible. Their crisp, slightly crunchy texture makes them a popular addition to both raw and cooked dishes. Spring onions offer a milder alternative to mature onions, providing a subtle oniony bite without being overpowering. They're a common ingredient in a variety of cuisines and are easy to incorporate into your everyday cooking, adding a vibrant color and a fresh, delicate flavor.

Spring onions are best stored in the refrigerator to maintain their freshness and crispness. Wrap them loosely in a damp paper towel and place them in a plastic bag or airtight container in the crisper drawer. This helps prevent them from drying out. Avoid washing them before storing, as excess moisture can lead to spoilage. Stored properly, they can last for up to a week. You can also freeze spring onions; chop them first and store them in a freezer-safe bag or container.
