They green onions, them. The green part is tops. The white part is bottoms.

They will always be green onions to me. That’s how I grew up.

scallops.


Just kidding - green onions or scallions.

Spring onions are onions harvested between green onion stage and completely grown onions. They have a green top and a mall bulb at the bottom.

Green onions here.

I've heard them called shallots many times, but that is not close to what a shallot is.

Green onions.

When I see a recipe calling them shallots, I find it confusing unless there's a reference to using the green or white parts or both.
