The green onion!! Scallions are an allium (Latin for "garlic") vegetable. The hollow, tube-like green tops have a mild, oniony zing, while the small, white bulb ends offer a sharper bite.

Scallions are packed with antioxidants that defend your cells against damage. Antioxidants in scallions hunt down free radicals, substances that can lead to cancer, inflammation, and age-related diseases. The antioxidants lose their power during cooking, so fresh is best!
