Produce 101 - Green Onions

Picking the best

When selecting green onions, they should have good, green-colored tops and white, bleached stems up to about three inches from the root. Also referred to as scallions, green onions have long, delicate stalks and small white bulbs. They are milder tasting than large-bulb onions, and are sold in bunches.

Storing

Store green onions in a plastic bag in the refrigerator up to five days. Store produce and other foods away from green onions in witch they may absorb the odor of the onion.
