Premium Fresh Green Onions for Global Buyers
Spring onions, also known as green onions or scallions, are a versatile allium prized for their crisp white stems and bright green tops. They are a staple ingredient in cuisines across the Gulf, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Western markets, used in salads, stir-fries, garnishes, and a wide range of cooked dishes.
India's diverse climate supports spring onion cultivation across multiple states, and our sourcing network across Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh ensures consistent year-round availability for export.
