What is a Spring Onion?

What are Spring onions?

If you are looking for a small onion with a mild flavor that can be eaten raw in salads or cooked in stir fries and soups to add a light onion flavor, this is the perfect choice.

Spring onions look similar to green onions or scallions, but they have a small bulb at the base instead of a flatter white area. The flavor of spring onions is more intense than that of a scallion or green onion, but milder than a normal yellow cooking onion.
