Scallions
Scallions on display from Eloisa Organic Farm.
Latin Name: Allium fistulosum
Spanish: cebollín
Scallions, often referred to as green onions, are the extra special something (or razzle dazzle, as our favorite baddie in the kitchen, Cassie Yeung likes to say) that so many dishes need to elevate their flavor and brighten the plate.
Scallions aren’t only just for elevating other dishes, but shine in the spotlight just fine themselves when chopped in fried into savory scallion pancakes. Regardless of how you use them, make sure to chop all the way up your scallions and use the entire stalk from white to green.
What is Negi?
With the same Latin name as scallions, negi and scallions are actually the same plant, the difference is in how the plants are tended. Negi are produced by planting the young scallions extra deep and hilling the plants up throughout the season like you would a leek to produce this tall white negi scallion.
