Did you know?

Scallions are often overlooked as a significant source of healthy nutrients.

Scallions, or green onions, are a close relative of the onion but are really from the Allium family.

The micronutrients contained in a scallion are truly missed. Vitamin K is found in abundance as well as folate, iron and manganese!
Mixed with all the other ingredients in this particular recipe, you won’t be short on anything healthy!
