Spring onion growing on my dinner table
The scallion (also known as spring onion, salad onion, onion sticks, green shallots or green onion in many countries) is an edible plant of the genus Allium. The upper green portion is hollow. It lacks a fully developed root bulb. Harvested for their taste, they are milder than most onions. They may be cooked or used raw as a part of salads or Asian recipes. Diced scallions are used in soup, noodle and seafood dishes, as well as sandwiches, curries or as part of a stir fry. To make many Eastern sauces, the bottom quarter-inch of scallions are commonly removed before use. Cut at root level.

LoL! Ur place must be very humid that the spring onion can grow without soil and all :D
Add to anything...even clear soup and it will make a world of difference! In NZ, they have BIG ones...and my SIL uses the bulb and throws away the leaves. What a waste! All that fragrance gone to waste.

Woww, you grow your own spring onion, good! You can use it whenever you wish:-)
For me, I use the similar way to keep the spring onion fresh (inside the fridge).
