Scallions

Scallions, also known as green onions or spring onions, are long, slenderAllium vegetables with a mild, sweet flavor. They feature a white base and green leaves, offering a fresh, onion-like taste without the sharpness of mature onions.

Ground Bison

Ground bison is a lean, nutrient-rich alternative to traditional ground beef, derived from the American bison, a species native to North America. Bison meat has a distinctive flavor profile that is slightly sweeter and richer than beef, with a hint of minerality that reflects its natural grazing habits. Its texture is firm yet tender, with less fat content than beef, which can lead to a denser patty if not handled properly. In cooking, ground bison benefits from gentle handling and additional fat or moisture to prevent dryness, as it can brown quickly and has a tendency to overcook due to its lower fat content.
