Benefits.
Onions have many health benefits including fighting cancer and preventing infections. They may block cancer growth, especially in the stomach because they contain a compound called allicin that prevents cells from turning cancerous and may slow tumors from spreading. The extracts of onions have long been used as medicine because they can kill bacteria, fungi, and viruses. At high enough concentrations, they can kill or slow the growth of salmonella or E. coli.
Scallions are an excellent source of many essential nutrients. Vitamin B2 (riboflavin), which is essential to energy production and metabolism. Vitamin K, which plays a role in blood clotting and bone and muscle health. Vitamin C, which is an antioxidant that supports the immune system.
The green tops of scallions are a very good source of: Vitamin A, which supports the immune system and vision. Vitamin B6, which plays a role in metabolism and the immune system. Phytonutrients (antioxidants), a broad class of plant-based compounds that promote overall health.
They also have fiber that helps you feel full, keeps your cholesterol levels down, and may lower your chances for diabetes, heart disease, and other conditions.

These are tasty and easy to grow, and I can put them in everything. I like that I can keep a patch of them growing all year long so I can harvest when I want. I have some growing in the cold frame over the winter months so that I can have some fresh scallions even when it's snowing outside. I plan to always grow these in my garden! Very useful.

I am loving growing these green bunching onions! Easy to start from seed! I have them growing in several areas of my garden, I love clipping off some of the onion greens to add to stir fries and salads, and they keep on coming! These are a great compliment to all of your awesome chile and tomatoes! It's funny, I use onions and chile almost everyday in cooking, so I'm glad to be growing my own!
