Spring onions, Allium wakegi, also known as scallions, salad onion, onion sticks, green shallots or green onion. The species most commonly associated with the name is the Welsh onion, Allium fistulosum. The upper green portion is hollow. It lacks a fully developed root bulb. Harvested for their taste, they are milder than most onions. They may be cooked or used raw as a part of salads or Asian recipes. Diced scallions are used in soup, noodle and seafood dishes, as well as sandwiches, curries or as part of a stir fry. To make many Eastern sauces, the bottom quarter-inch of scallions are commonly removed before use.
