Scallions,
Green Onions, and Spring Onions are small,
with their tender greens still attached to
the small white thin bulbs. They are long
and slender with white roots fading into green
tops.
They have a bright and delicate flavor. |

Though
they are related to onions, leeks and ramps
have a more subtle and noble flavor.
Garlic has been used since time immemor-ial
as a seasoning. If you love it, you can't
get enough of it. If you don't, try it in
smaller amounts. |

The
two major categories for dry onions are storage onions
and sweet onions. Storage onions are low in water and
high in sulfur, so they store well and are usually available
at any time. The new sweet hybrid onions, such as Vidalia,
Maui, 1015 Y, Texas Spring Sweet and Walla Walla are
usually available in Spring and Summer unless they are
imported in. Every year, more and more hybrid varieties
arrive on the scene. And believe it or not, each one
seems to be better and better. People that don't think
they like onions, love some of the new sweet varieties.
Experiment, the flavors will amaze you! (By the way,
if you get hooked on the sweet onions, you can chop
them and freeze them for cooking when they are out of
season.)
