Need a stronger onion flavour? Standard onions (70–150 g) are larger with bold, layered sweetness. See our Onion converter.

Spring Onion varieties and best uses
The conversions above are the same whatever variety you use; the difference is what each is good for. Here is how the common spring onion varieties compare.
| Variety | Best for |
|---|---|
| Scallion (green onion) | All-purpose use raw or cooked: mild, crisp, and fresh; the standard supermarket spring onion. |
| Welsh onion (negi) | Stir-fries and cooked dishes: more pungent and heat-tolerant than common scallions. |
| Bunching onion | Asian dishes and pickling: slightly bulbous base, bold flavour, very versatile. |
Which should I pick?
For most recipes (stir-fries, salads, soups, and garnishes) a standard scallion (green onion) is the default: mild, fresh, and edible from root to tip. Welsh onions are more pungent and hold up better to heat; use them when you want stronger flavour in cooked dishes. Bunching onions have a slightly bulbous base and bolder flavour: the everyday choice in many Asian cuisines.
