Scallions, also known as spring onions, are related to onions and have a long green stem with a white bulb at the end. The flavor is similar to onions, too, but not as sharp or pungent. They’re used in many types of dishes including soups, stews, in salads and even stir fries. Scallions don’t fall short in nutrition, either; they contain vitamins A, C, E, & K, calcium, potassium, copper, iron and more.
Can my dog eat scallions? Can my puppy eat scallions? The short answer is no.
