Spring Onions

Also known as green onions and bunching onions.

In England, any green onion is called a Spring Onion.

They can be used raw, but their mature bulb is slightly more pungent than green onions. Use with a light hand in fresh green salads where more delicate flavors can be overpowered.

In America, what we term as the Spring onion has a slightly more rounded and defined bulb and is typically larger than the slender and more delicate green onion. The flavor has more bite and is somewhat hotter.

They can be used much like green onions, except you just need to remember that they are slightly stronger. They are wonderful sliced very thin and sautéed with fresh spring and summer vegetables and stir- fries.
