Store green onions in the refrigerator

However, it should be noted that if green onions are mixed with other vegetables, the freshness of both onions and vegetables will be affected.
You should use plastic wrap to tightly wrap green onions to ensure the onion smell does not affect other foods. Onions should be divided into small portions enough for one use. Green onions preserved this way can be kept for about 1 month.
You can also put onions in a box and close the lid to keep them fresh. To avoid waterlogged onions, place a sheet of kitchen paper at the bottom of the box.
Store green onions in the freezer
Freezing green onions will help prolong their storage time.
When buying onions, pick out the roots, remove the yellow and crushed leaves, and wash them with clean water 2-3 times at night. Let the onions drain thoroughly or use a towel to dry the water on the surface of the onions.
Finely chop the onions according to need. If you want to make stir-fried dishes, you can cut onions into long pieces. If using for soup, cut into smaller pieces.
Put the onions in a box and close the lid. Put the box of onions in the freezer. When needed, take the onions out and put them directly into the dish, no need to defrost. Note, onions can be divided into small parts, in small boxes for convenience. Only take out the part you need to use, the unused parts should be left in the freezer.
There are many different ways to keep green onions fresh for a month.
Preserve onions with water
With onion parts that still have long, strong roots, you can preserve them by growing them aquatically.
Prepare a few clean cups (or cut off the mouth of a few clean plastic bottles) to grow onions. Pour water inside, enough water to cover the onion roots. Place the onion in water and keep it in a cool place, not exposed to direct sunlight. Change the water and wash the cup regularly so the onions stay fresh and continue to grow.
