Green onions are a variety of onion harvested immature before the bulb has formed. Both the green leaves and white bulbs are used raw or cooked for their mild but still pronounced onion flavor. Green onions are also known as scallions or spring onions.
To sliver green onions:
Trim off the root ends and dark green tops. With a paring knife, halve the shoot from top to bottom. Cut into smaller lengths, if desired. Slice each half lengthwise into fine strips.To chop or mince green onions: Trim off the root ends and leave the tender green tops if desired. Using a chef's knife, cut across the shoot to chop coarsely. To mince, gather the chopped onions. Steadying the top of the blade, rock the knife in an arc across onions until desired fineness is reached.For specific onion varieties, see boiling, Maui, pearl, red, Vidalia, Walla Walla, white, and yellow onions and leeks and shallots.

A green onion is the same thing as a scallion. They are in the same family as chives, yellow and white onions, and shallots. They are sometimes confused with shallots, but a shallot is another member of the same family. Green onions, or scallions, have almost no bulb, a thick stem, and grow long, straight leaves like chives, but larger. They look like miniature leeks.

They are very young onions. They have a very small bulb (onion on the bottom) and long green leaves. Recipes usually use the whole thing including the green tops.

They are also known as scallions. Shallots are also a type of onion, but a very different type. don't substitute shallots for green onions, they have very different flavor profiles.
