Estimated Inventory, bunch : 0
Description/Taste
These immature onions have long, hollow green stalks and are entirely edible. Green onions differ from scallions as they have a tiny bulb. True scallions are actually even younger and have no bulb at all. The flavor is mild but can be used in countless dishes.
Seasons/Availability
White scallions are available from McGrath Farms fall through spring.
Nutritional Value
Onions are low in calories and high in energy. Containing valuable chemicals touted as disease-fighters, research shows that eating half an onion a day increases the "good kind" of cholesterol, increases circulation, prevents blood clots and lowers blood pressure. Onions offer an excellent source of vitamin A and vitamin C, plus potassium, magnesium, calcium and fiber. Eating five daily servings of fruits and vegetables lowers the chances of cancer. A recent study found eating nine or ten daily servings of fruits and vegetables, combined with three servings of low-fat dairy products, effectively lowered blood pressure.
