Spring onions, also known as green onions, salad onions or scallions, are the immature plants that would develop into mature onions if left in the ground. Their name derives from the fact that they were originally harvested in spring, although they are now available all year round. Tender, fresh and much milder tasting than a fully grown onion, they are often eaten raw or flash-fried in salads or stir-fries.
