Benefit 2: Detoxification and Flavoring
Scallions are pungent in taste and slightly warm in nature, acting to expel pathogens, unblock yang, detoxify, and add flavor.

Scallions are rich in vitamin C, which can dilate small blood vessels, promote blood circulation, prevent dizziness caused by high blood pressure, keep the brain agile, and prevent Alzheimer's disease.
