Difference in use: Green onions are often used in the northern region, such as Shandong green onions can grow to one or two meters high, such as boiling pots, Shandong cuisine and other must-use green onions, green onions can stimulate a unique fragrance, for the whole dish to enhance the flavor.

Shallots, on the other hand, are mainly used in the southern region and are sprinkled with chives to enhance the flavor before the dish is out of the pan. <
