47 The Scoop on Scallions Don't call them green onions. Although many people use the names "scallion" and "green onion" interchangeably, the two are slightly different. Green (or spring) onions are regular onions that have been harvested early and have a small-but-bulbous end. Scallions are a different plant variety and their white end doesn't bulge outward. Both are tender and mild-tasting. Be choosy. Scallions should have crisp stalks with a bright green color and firm white ends with no signs of browning. PHOTO BY GETTY IMAGES Give them some TLC. Less hearty than their onion cousins, scallions only last in the refrigerator for about three days. To preserve moisture, store them in the crisper wrapped in a slightly damp paper towel.
