Storage and Use

  • Green onions can be kept in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 weeks. They are best stored in a breathable bag in the high-humidity drawer.
  • Wash and trim roots off before use.
  • Green onions can be frozen without blanching, chopped or whole.
  • Wrap 1/2 cup portions of frozen onions in plastic, then place in doubled freezer bag to contain odor during storage.
  • Often used to garnish soups, salads, and dips, can be added to chicken, tuna, or egg salad, and great in stir fries and salsa.
