Request Spring Onion SpecificationChoose Spring Onion by Cut Size and Final Application
Xiamen Sharp Dragon International Trading Co., Ltd. supplies IQF frozen spring onion, also known as frozen green onion or frozen scallion, to international commercial buyers.
For food manufacturers, "frozen spring onion" alone is not a complete purchasing specification. A 4–6mm fine cut behaves differently from a 12.5mm slice or a 45mm long cut during mixing, dosing, cooking and final presentation. Buyers should therefore select the cut according to the finished food and define the permitted size variation before production.

4–6mm Diced Spring Onion
The 4–6mm format is a fine spring onion cut suitable where the ingredient needs to distribute throughout a recipe rather than remain as a large visible piece.
12.5mm Sliced Spring Onion
The approximately 12.5mm format provides a more visible spring onion piece than the 4–6mm dice while remaining compact enough for noodles, soups, frozen meals and foodservice preparations.
Buyers using this cut should define not only nominal length but also acceptable short pieces, oversized pieces and green-white appearance requirements.
45mm Long-Cut Spring Onion
A longer 45mm spring onion cut is more suitable when the spring onion should remain visually identifiable after cooking rather than disappear into the formulation.

| Yellow Leaves | Yellow or seriously discolored pieces can be included in the physical defect specification. |
| Fibrous Material | Tough or fibrous stem material can affect eating quality and should be controlled where relevant. |
