About Green onion leaves

Green onion leaves, also known as scallion tops, are the vibrant, green shoots of the onion plant, commonly used in various cuisines including Asian, Mexican, and American cooking. These tender leaves are a flavorful addition to salads, soups, stir-fries, and garnishes. Packed with essential nutrients, they are a good source of vitamins A, C, and K, which support immunity, skin health, and bone strength. They also contain antioxidants and compounds like sulfur, which may contribute to heart health and reduce inflammation. Low in calories and carbohydrates, green onion leaves are ideal for weight management and add a burst of flavor without relying on unhealthy additives. While their pungent taste enhances dishes, they are gentle on digestion compared to stronger onions. However, those with sulfur sensitivities or digestive concerns may want to consume them in moderation. Overall, green onion leaves are a versatile and nutritious ingredient in a balanced diet.
