Difference Between Green Onions, Scallions, Spring Onions and Chives

Do They Taste Like?

Green onions have a mild, fresh onion flavor. The white portion tends to be slightly stronger and more pungent, while the green tops are milder and more delicate.

Because they’re not as intense as mature bulb onions, they work particularly well in dishes where you want onion flavor without overwhelming the other ingredients.

How Are They Used?

Green onions and scallions are incredibly versatile. You can:

Slice them into salads

Sprinkle them over baked potatoes

Add them to scrambled eggs and omelets

Stir them fried rice
