Approximate kitchen reference. Not a lab label. Brands and cuts vary.
Origin
East Asian allium tradition; now grocery-standard worldwide.
Herbal & culinary notes
Milder allium chemistry than bulb onions. Often easier raw. Used in folk cold remedies as a warm broth aromatic.
How to store
Fridge crisper in a breathable bag, or stand roots in a jar of water (change water often). Use within a week for best quality.
Food safety
Rinse well. Grit hides in the layers. Keep cut greens cold.
Food hazards
Like other produce, can pick up soil microbes. Wash before eating raw.
