Scallions

Scallions go by many names, including green onions, spring onions, salad onions, green shallots, and onion sticks. The flavor is less intense than an onion and the plant actually never forms a bulb.

Scallions are a great source of fiber, folate and vitamins A, C, and K. (See more scallion nutrition facts on Self.com.)

If not stored properly scallions can turn quickly. Fortunately, storing them is a snap. Fill a jar with about an inch of water. Put your scallions (with roots) in the jar. Cover with a plastic bag or plastic wrap and pop in the refrigerator. Change the water once every day or two.

Also, scallions freeze quite well. Wash them off, chop them up, and put them in your freezer! They'll last for quite a while.
