What part of a green onion do you use?

The white bulb and the stems of a green onion are both edible and can be used in recipes. Trim 1 or 2 inches off the top of the green stems if needed.

Green onions are also referred to as scallions. This vegetable can be found throughout the year.

These onions are often added to recipes to provide a mild onion flavor. The green stems are commonly used for garnish and to add texture and color.

Green onions should be washed well before using. The roots on the white bulb and wilted green leaves should also be removed. Additionally, damaged or slimy green stems should be discarded.
