Scallions are best stored in the refrigerator to maintain their crispness and flavor. Wrap them loosely in a damp paper towel and place them in a plastic bag or container. This helps prevent them from drying out. You can also stand them upright in a glass or jar with about an inch of water, changing the water every day or two. Avoid storing scallions near fruits like apples and pears, as the ethylene gas they release can cause the scallions to spoil faster. Properly stored, scallions can last for up to a week.
