Green Onions (Whole Bunch)

Green onions, also known as scallions or spring onions, are a versatile member of the Allium family. Originating in Asia, they have been cultivated for thousands of years and are now used globally. Their flavor is mild and reminiscent of onions but with a subtle, fresh grassy note. The white base is slightly more pungent and firm, while the green tops are tender and offer a gentle sweetness. Green onions have a crisp texture that adds a delightful crunch to dishes. In cooking, they are often used raw to preserve their delicate flavor and texture, though they can also be sautéed or grilled, softening and mellowing their taste. They are excellent for garnishing or as a last-minute addition to soups, stir-fries, and salads, imparting a fresh, vibrant touch.

Thai Red Curry Paste

Thai red curry paste is a vibrant, aromatic blend of chilies, herbs, and spices that forms the flavorful base of the beloved Thai red curry. Originating from Thailand, this paste is a staple in many Southeast Asian cuisines, particularly known for its use in the iconic red curry dish. The paste is characterized by its deep red color, which comes from dried red chilies. It offers a complex flavor profile that is intensely spicy, yet balanced by notes of sweetness from palm sugar, tanginess from lime leaves, and earthiness from spices like cumin and coriander. Its texture is smooth and somewhat coarse due to the presence of lemongrass and galangal. When cooked, Thai red curry paste releases its aromatic oils, infusing dishes with rich, warming flavors and a fiery heat. Its robust nature allows it to stand up well to coconut milk, the usual companion in curries, creating a harmonious balance of spice and creaminess.
