Scallion

Also referred to as green onion, the scallion has been a popular remedy in Asian folk medicine for thousands of years. Besides, scallions are a variety of young onion that is made up of a white base that has not fully developed into a bulb and long green stalks that resemble chives. Both the white and the green parts are used in recipes and eaten both raw and cooked. In addition, scallions have a sweeter, milder flavor than mature onions, and are a bit stronger than chives. Like almost all vegetables and fruits, scallions are mostly water. A cup of this plant has less sugar and fewer carbs than vegetables like carrots, potatoes, and corn. Plus, it has about 10% of the fiber you need for the whole day. As a matter of fact, getting lots of fiber helps you feel full, keeps your cholesterol levels down, and may lower your chances for diabetes, heart disease, and other conditions.
