Scallions
(Allium cepa)

The mild, more delicate and perishable babies of the onion family, the scallion also offers medicinal properties and acts as a digestive aid. High in Vit A and C, with minerals. May be cooked, but is very versatile raw. Use for a mild bite of flavor and as an attractive garnish for any savory dish.

Here's an unusual recipe rather like risotto but with barley. I picked it up at the Union Square Green Market; it's from the Babbo Cookbook by Mario
Batali.
