DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GREEN ONIONS, SCALLIONS AND SHALLOTS
By stepjo7269
As above
- Green onions, scallions and shallots are alike in that they are all members of the onion family.
- Scallions are picked when they are younger, and thus have a more slender white base.
- Green onions, which are left in the ground longer, develop a small bulb on the end of the white base.
- Most grocery stores do not distinguish between the two, and they are interchangeable in any recipe.
- Shallots are similar in size to a medium-large head of garlic. It has heads of cloves covered in thin papery onion skin. They offer a wonderful mild onion flavor to recipes.
