Rooted in Deliciousness

Green onions are a garnishing go-to. They’re milder than red or white onions, and they liven up all sorts of dishes — from cream cheese-slathered bagels to baked potatoes. Here are just some of the reasons why we love this humble-yet-mighty allium.

• They include vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Green onions include vitamins A, C and K, as well as folate and phytonutrients.
• They can last a long time in the fridge. If you refrigerate green onions in a jar of water (bulb end submerged), they could last 2–3 weeks.
• They’re low in calories but big in flavor. A cup of chopped green onions is only 32 calories.
• They are easy to grow...and regrow! Submerge the root portion of the green onions in a jar of water. Set in full sunlight, changing the water every few days, then transfer to soil after about a week.
• Roll out the red carpet because they’re culinary superstars. You can always count on green onions to add a burst of zippiness and color to recipes. They’re extremely versatile and work in hot and cold dishes.

Did you know? The difference between green onions and scallions is their age! Scallions are simply younger and have smaller bulbs.
