Nerd Alert:

See those scallions in the picture. Cut them, and you release organosulfur compounds (there to help protect scallions from pests in soil). These are the same compounds that are in shampoos to treat dandruff.

Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate is….you guessed it…an organosulfur compound (sulfur atoms are bounded to carbon!). does anyone remember these Lewis diagrams from high school chemistry?!?

end of nerd alert. and yes i’m propaganda for scallions! how do you eat scallions? comment below!

*this random recipe’s similar enough to what i cooked yesterday! (mine ended up being too salty😔)
