Also called a green onion, scallions are basically the sprouts of a number of members in the onion family: onions, leeks and shallots, for example. They grow and are picked before the bulb actually grows under the ground. They have a white bottom and a green top section, all of which are edible. Used extensively in Asian cooking.
