I find scallions tasty, but can live without them.
Where I live they are not available year round, just for a few weeks in Jan/Feb.
I am thinking I can buy them in bulk and freeze them. Do they provide enough nutritional value to go through that?
I googled it and didn't find them to be more nutritional than red onions, which are available year round here. Is that right?
Answer
Scallions are very good for you, providing fiber which is heart healthy. It is believed scallions also inhibit cancer growth. They also have phytonutrients including antioxidants. However, cooking undermines that potency.
These are also known as green onions and are similar to red onions and garlic in terms of nutritional benefits.
