green onion

Filed under: Onion

Related to the lily, this underground bulb is prized around the world for the magic it makes in a multitude of dishes with its pungent flavor and odor. There are two main classifications of onion: green onions (also called scallions) and dry onions, which are simply mature onions with a juicy flesh covered with dry, papery skin.
