Spring onions taste great and are also remarkably wholesome for the body. Usually known as scallion or green onion, it is the most favored ingredient in Chinese Cuisine and is loaded with essential nutrients. Be it the green leafy part or the white bulb of the spring onion both are edible. The taste is milder compared to the regular onion and it can be cooked or eaten uncooked as well.
