In recent years, there has been a shift towards a greater demand for more nutritious and healthier foods, emphasizing the role of diets in human well-being. Edible Alliums, including common onions, garlic, chives and green onions, are staples in diverse cuisines worldwide and are valued specifically for their culinary versatility, distinct flavors and nutritional and medicinal properties. Green onions are widely cultivated and traded as a spicy vegetable. The mild, onion-like flavor makes the crop a pleasant addition to various dishes, serving as a staple ingredient in many world cuisines, particularly in Eastern Asian countries such as China, Japan and the Republic of Korea. The green pseudostems, leaves and non-developed bulbs of green onions are utilized in salads, stir-fries, garnishes and a myriad of culinary preparations. Additionally, green onions have a rich historical background in traditional medicine and diets, capturing the attention of chefs and the general public. The status of the crop as an important food, its culinary diversity and its nutraceutical and therapeutic value make it a subject of great interest in research. Therefore, the present review has examined the distribution, culinary, nutritional and therapeutic significance of green onions, highlighting the health benefits derived from the consumption of diets with this aromatic vegetable crop as a constituent.

ANDY soils are often associated with low fertility due to their physical and chemical properties. Sandy soils have a coarse texture and large pore spaces, which allow water and nutrients to drain quickly, leaving little time for plants to absorb them. Additionally, sandy soils have a low capacity to hold nutrients, which can easily leach out of the soil with excessive watering or rainfall. This makes it difficult for plants to access the nutrients they need to grow and develop properly, leading to nutrient deficiency stress. So, the current study was designated to investigate the responses of pepper and green bean plants to various selenium (Se) forms (Nano and bulk forms) and doses (0.0, 10, 20, 30, and 40 ppm for each form) during the biofortification program under sandy soil conditions.In general, the response of studied vegetable crops had a similar behavior under such studied stress regarding all selected attributes. This response represents in increasing the studied trials of growth, and nutritional status of both crops by increasing the applied nano-Se up to 20 or 30 ppm, while bulk forms of Se at 20 ppm for both crops. The production of biofortified fruits of both green bean and pepper were not only contain high content of Se to prevent the biofortification program, but also increased the all studied attributes of crops. This study seeks to remedy the problems of cultivation of sandy soils under biofortification program by applying both mineral and nano-Se sources with propriety to the biological nano-Se. This study also opened many questions concerning the biofortification program using other vegetable crops under different stresses.
