The functions of shallots and scallions are mainly seasoning, followed by color matching. The difference is to play a supporting role for different main ingredients. For example, shallots mixed with tofu, pancakes rolled with green onions. It seems that they can be replaced simply by taste and color, but they cannot be replaced by each other in shape and taste. In removing fishy smell, shallots can't replace scallions. In hotels, green onions can't replace chopped green onions.
Onion is an indispensable condiment in our life, especially when cooking delicious food, chopped green onion is often needed to improve the flavor and freshness. Many people also like to eat raw green onion, which not only has a good appetizing effect, but also can improve appetite, and also has a good effect in preventing diseases and protecting health. So what is the difference between green onion and green onion? Let's take a look at it.
Onions are generally divided into scallions and shallots, mainly in the north, especially as cooking seasonings, such as Shandong scallions, thick-skinned leaf fertilizers, and sometimes one scallion can weigh two or three kilograms. Onions can be directly used as a vegetable for cooking, such as fried kidney flowers with scallions and fried mutton with scallions.
There are mainly some shallots in the south, which are also called chives. For example, the distinctive one is Xiaoyushalong in Guangzhou. The chives are attractive, slippery and have a little jasper feeling. They are usually used as some auxiliary materials for cooking dishes, which can be used as bean curd, seasoning for clear soup, raw food or cold salad.
The content of protein and minerals in shallots is relatively high, and there is also relatively high carotene. In terms of minerals, shallots have higher nutritional value than scallions. From the perspective of being rich in allicin, the content of green onion is higher, so it is relatively more spicy, which has the functions of promoting appetite and stimulating gastric acid secretion, and also has a good bactericidal effect, which can prevent intestinal diseases.
The above is a simple understanding of the difference between green onions and shallots. They will be different in character, taste and nutritional efficacy. We can't say which is good or which is bad, but we can only say that they have their own characteristics. Eating some green onions or shallots properly at ordinary times has a health care function, which can improve the level of immunity and improve the body's disease resistance.
