Does anyone regrow scallions in their windowsills anymore? I decided to ditch the practice years ago after I tired of the odor, but nevertheless, I continue to love the mild, onion-y flavor scallions add to dishes of all types.
Depending on whom you ask, scallion, green onion and spring onion are often used as names for the same thing. However, while scallion and green onion are synonymous, spring onions are technically different plants. Scallions are relatively uniform in thickness, whereas spring onions have a white bulb at the bottom that looks like a mini onion. And, as the name implies, spring onions are typically available only during the season. (Note that in the United Kingdom, the name for scallions is spring onions.)
