Green onions, also known as scallions or spring onions, are a versatile and flavorful vegetable characterized by their slender green stalks and small white bulbs. They offer a mild, fresh onion flavor with a subtle peppery bite, making them an ideal addition to a variety of dishes. The green parts are slightly more pungent than the white bulbs. Their crisp texture adds a pleasant crunch to salads and garnishes. Look for firm, bright green stalks without any wilting or yellowing for the freshest flavor and optimal quality. Explore adding green onions to your cooking as a flavorful and aromatic enhancer.

To keep green onions fresh, trim the roots and store them in a glass or jar with about an inch of water, refrigerated. You can also wrap them loosely in a damp paper towel and store them in a plastic bag in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator. Change the water every couple of days if storing in water. For longer storage, you can freeze chopped green onions in an airtight container.
