Sir, that was a great explanation. I never knew the specifics, and this covered it quite well. And despite the fact that I don't remember the Latin names, I truly do appreciate that you mentioned it. It showed that they are very clearly different species with just 1 second spent to mention the name. Excellent.
Thx!!!
I Love the spring garlic which is never available at the store. When spring comes I buy older garlic cloves that have already began to sprout. I break apart the cloves and fit as many as I can into planters just a few inches apart (and thats ok bcs they will never develope into full cloves. Clove garlic is grown a completely different way) so basically you are growing one spring garlic bulb for each clove of garlic. By the end of the growing season the green stalks will be about 20 inches high and begin to die. Pull one up and the bulb should be about an inch or so in diameter. The delicious bulbs will taste like a cross between a clove of garlic and a spring onion. Leaving them in the planter wont hurt them at all and they will stay good for later use.
thank you for sharing that
Oh finally the explanation that I needed! ❤️
Awesome!
The green tops on garlic, even young garlic, are called "scapes" and are delicious until too tough to eat.
...thumbs up for your video.
nice!
That's what I've been searching for.. thank you for your good explanation 👍
No problem 😊
Great! You did an excellent job explaining the onions.
Thx!
Keep up the good stuff, love your content♥️💚
thank you!
Thank you, exactly the differentiation between these that I was wondering about!
You're welcome!
Very informative thank you
welcome!
In Indonesia, we use chive as ingredients to cook like we use scallions. Usually mixed with tapioka flour batter to cook fried tofu covered with tapioka flour batter 😊
Thanks for sharing

Welcome 😊
thanks for clarifying !!!
Happy to help!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Shallots?
In Australia 🇦🇺 I've been raised to use spring onion, scallion, green onion, and shallots interchangeably
Awesome!
Thanks. ❤
You're welcome 😊
That made sense. Thank you. I am totally saving this video. So all this time my three scoops of “chives” in my egg drop soup have probably been the green part scallions chopped up - now I know why I could never reproduce it at home. Funny side note: I been throwing them away (scallion tops) this whole time
Wonderful!
This is very useful Jerry. Now I finally knew their differences. Yes you're right most of my friends here in our country thinks spring and green onions are just the same. That is why Im actually regrowing onions so I could use the greens as alternative for green onions but you said can't use the green. I haven't tried it yet. That's why I wanna ask you the difference between the two when used in dishes. Thank u.
Awesome!
In Melbourne Australia I never heard the term scallion, so this was very helpful 👍🏽
Awesome!
Loved your video. You've really clarified for me the difference and its use. Now can you tell me what is the difference between a regular chive and Chinese chives?
I will add that to my list of videos
I liked the information. I'm curious about shallots. Btw, love your shirt.
Will keep that in mind. Thanks!
Shallots the shiznit. That's all ya rly need to know. Smaller, milder, sweeter than your typical red, yellow or white onion. A bit more tender, as well. In my experience, they also tend to break down less during storage and/or cooking than onions once they have been chopped/diced. Meaning although they are initially more tender than a common onion, they tend to brown more easily/better while still keeping a nice crunch. In other words, they don't seep and put out as much water as the common onion. So, yeah, as I said...the shiznit. Hope this was helpful.
That is a cool ass shirt for all us foodies! 🙌
His t-shirt is the ultimate dad joke, i love it lol
thx
Wish you would have included shallots. That's the one I did want to know what it is. Thanks for video.
I was focusing on things with long greens but i suspect i need to make an allium focused one for that
Thanks ur vid was the best explanation! One thing that also confused me was Chinese chives(garlic chives) another species eaten like chives . Completely different then how people eat garlic greens.
Yah for sure, glad it helped.
Welcome!
If you ever update this video…maybe add ramps? In the Appalachian mountains we look forward to eating these every Spring. Regional…yes. But it’d be interesting to compare.
Thx!
love this, now i know
YAY
In Canada we call scallions “green onions” and spring onions are “scallions”.
oh interesting
i see dried parsley flakes everywhere in grocery stores, but hardly find dried scallions or chives. Every instant noodle has a bag in it, but hard to find a bottle of it. I have found some online, but they are small and expensive. I wonder why.
probably bc it is not called for a lot
I’m trying to figure out what is in one of my garden beds. I planted garlic and white and red onions all neatly done and labeled. Shortly there after My puppy jumped into this bed unknown to me and just had a field day with the fresh dirt. When I discovered this I tried to replant but all was mixed up. Now I have 2 feet of greenery. One scape I noticed. I’m not sure which is which and what to do. Any suggestions. Thank you
probably best to take a few to a garden center?
I had planted sweet oinion in spring and plan on seeding again, mine had grown so tall are the greens edible.
kkz
This is good
Yay
I swear to God this is ay A-ha moment for me. THANK YOU. By the way, what are leeks similar to?
Leeks have an oniony taste
4:09 Green garlic
Love green garlic!
Hi!! I bought some chives to plant recently. One has white flowers on it and is marked 'chives, garlic'
Is this the green garlic you were talking about?
it sounds like it?
@@jerryjamesstone thanks!
I have grown scallions, onions, chives, and garlic chives. The chives are more than just garnish, they have a great flavor that adds to my eggs and other dishes. The garlic chives are sometimes called Chinese chives. They look very similar to regular chives but I read they are unrelated to European chives. They have a slight garlic taste to them. Green garlic is basically immature garlic. They are not the same thing as garlic chives.
Leaks?
Are they all edible… I can add any of them in my cooking like fried rice, salad, soup etc. thanks
Yes you can!
Do you know why we shouldn't use the greens from the Spring Onion? I ask because I'm growing what I thought were going to be green onions, from a mature Red Onion.... I don't want to use it in food if it's going to be upsetting to the stomach or something? Do you know anything about that?
you can eat those green onions if it is baby onions but i wouldnt eat the mature ones. there is nothing technically wrong with eating them, they just wont be as tender, at least in the store bought ones.
@@jerryjamesstone Ok great, Thank you for the response :) Good info. in your video too, Thank you for sharing!
You can definitely eat the greens that grow from onions. 🙄
this isnt about onions but thanks
When you notice the little white dot near the base of the F on his shirt....
heheh
What tipe of onion leaf is long and flat ?
i am not sure
Are spring onions and green onions the same thing?
No
google translator: Chives, Scallions, Green Onions, Spring Onions, Green Garlic = Зеленый лук, зеленый лук, зеленый лук, зеленый лук, зеленый чеснок... in Russian no words for all that types
thx
What about leeks?
what about them? lol
You left out Bunching Onions??? Are they the same as scallions???
i didnt leave it out.
What? Spring onion leaves taste delicious
:-)
Chives are tops in scrambled eggs
Nice!
I just call them onion leaves in general
ok
What about leeks? What are leeks?
got a video on that coming out this year
Chives is more than just garnish in East/South East Asia
Nice
In India , everyone uses spring onion greens for Chinese cooking
ok
You have no idea the power of chives
you have no idea what i know
Does green garlic tastes like leeks?
no
Cool beard
Thx!
Than you for your information ❤ Jesus Christ bless you
😊
Why can't you eat the tops of spring onions?
you can, they are just typically woody and unpleasant
i like to grow green onions...because they are just there, every year, automatically forever! do you grow your own green onions?
i do not
Why can’t you eat the greens from onions? I snipped them put in my salad. Was that a no no?
I mean, you can
You never addressed green onions even though it's in the title...
I know, but the people need to know too!
(edit) AWESOME video btw...my wife is mildly allium-averse, so I'll have to keep spring onions & green garlic in mind. Perhaps I'll hear less grousing.
Although most of her complaints come from the odor of the cooking and not so much the flavor... *nose scrunch*
He mentions that scallions are also known as green onions 0:09 seconds in.
I did
Mexicans do eat the green part of the spring onion. We grill the whole onion and eat it with tacos!
you mean green onions
1 one

I've never seen someone so sexually attracted to garlic. Jeez, you know you've got issues when you talk for over 5 minutes about an onion. Wow!
get therapy, dude. You need it!
