Super Spring Onions

Spring onions are part of the allium family (also known as scallions or green onions) which includes chives, garlics, onions and leeks.  They have a mellower flavour and are often only used as a garnish. Spring onions are a great source of vitamin C, which helps to keep our immune system working properly. 8 spring onions or 80g counts as one of your 5-a-day.
