Scallions

Scallions are also called green onions. The scallion is an immature yellow onion bulb. Green onions are suited to cooking, but are most often eaten raw, in soups, as a last minute garnish to soups and stir-fries.

Cutting Onions

Onions should not be peeled or cut in advance of cooking, as they lose their flavor rapidly. When chopping onions, it is advisable to cut them separate from other items as the flavor from the onion is easily picked up by other foods.
