Related to Spring Onion

Onion

Standard onion is far stronger and denser (167 g/cup vs 100 g/cup), so start with less and add to taste. Best cooked into soups, stir-fries, and bases; for a raw garnish it is sharper than spring onion, so soak in cold water first. See our Onion converter.

Shallot

The closest swap in flavour: shallots are milder and sweeter than onion but more concentrated than spring onion (160 g/cup), so use roughly half the volume. Ideal in dressings, pan sauces, and gentle sautés where you want delicate onion notes. See our Shallot converter.
