Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between scallions, green onions, and spring onions?
Scallions and green onions are the same - harvested young with thin white bases. Spring onions are slightly more mature with small bulbs. All are mild but spring onions are slightly stronger.
Can you regrow scallions from scraps?
Yes! Place the root end (white part with roots) in water on a sunny windowsill. New green growth will appear within days. Change water regularly. You can repeat the process several times.
