Spring onions, also called salad onions or scallions, are young onions eaten whole. The bulbs provide vitamin C, folate, prebiotic fibre and sulphur compounds, with very few calories.

Preparation note

Eating only the bulbs gives less vitamin K and vitamin A than including the green tops; use raw to keep vitamin C intact.
