Do you see the image below? What do you call these veggies? Scallions? Green onions? Spring onions?

I am confused because some say scallions are not the same as spring onions. Yet the chefs on TV call them green onions or spring onions ... they call them everything but scallions. Have you noticed that?

Of course, I could just ask the experts.

Well whatever they are called, I love them! They add a wonderful layer of flavor to a green salad. I also love them chopped and sprinkled on top of a soup made with a clear broth, like won ton soup.

They are super easy to grow. I only mention this because they may not be cheap where you live. At our local grocery store we can get a bunch for about 35 cents. However, a friend in Europe says they are not cheap. But it's OK because they're easy to grow.

I don't really know many recipes that list them as an ingredient during the cooking. Most of the time, people sprinkle them on the dish after the cooking is done. I'm still learning how to use the scallion as it was not a common cooking ingredient in my mom's dishes. (My husband's mother didn't use them either.)

Anybody else love this flavorful member of the onion family?

I have also heard them referred to as the names you mentioned. Whatever we call them, let's call them good. They are so versatile. At my local market they fly off of the shelves. When I first came upon them I was thrown off by the long size but I was influenced to try them and I am glad that I did.

* * For me, the first time I tried them was in a salad. A friend took me to a salad bar at a restaurant. I couldn't believe how those little green and white bits and pieces completely changed the flavor of the salad! Then I went to a Chinese restaurant and ordered the won ton soup with my meal. They had a bowl of chopped scallion on the table, with a bowl of crispy fried noodles and some other garnishes. I didn't know what to do, so I just took a spoonful of the scallions and the noodles and sprinkled it in the soup. It was fantastic! First food experiences can be so wonderful!

that picture is scallion because the white stems are bigger and the leaves are longer and wider than spring onions. I do plant spring onions at home but never that big. I had bought scallions in the hypermarket that looked exactly the ones that you had posted

I go back and forth between calling them scallions and green onions. I know there's a difference, but I don't know what it is.
