Question:

What's the difference between green onions, scallions, & chives?

Are they all the same plant (different names)???


Answers:

Both green onions and chives are in the same allium family, and both are used in cooking to spice foods. The primary difference is that green onions form bulbs that are used as slices, whereas chives are used as an herb used to flavor soups and salads. They are grown for their top growth, where green onions are grown for the root or bulb.

Scallions are also known as a green onions.
