Green Onions (Whole Bunch)

Green onions, also known as scallions or spring onions, are a versatile member of the Allium family. Originating in Asia, they have been cultivated for thousands of years and are now used globally. Their flavor is mild and reminiscent of onions but with a subtle, fresh grassy note. The white base is slightly more pungent and firm, while the green tops are tender and offer a gentle sweetness. Green onions have a crisp texture that adds a delightful crunch to dishes. In cooking, they are often used raw to preserve their delicate flavor and texture, though they can also be sautéed or grilled, softening and mellowing their taste. They are excellent for garnishing or as a last-minute addition to soups, stir-fries, and salads, imparting a fresh, vibrant touch.

Notes

When selecting green onions, look for bunches with bright green tops and firm, unblemished white bulbs. Avoid any with yellowing leaves or a strong odor. Store them in the refrigerator crisper drawer for up to two weeks. For longer storage, trim the roots and place the onions in a jar with a small amount of water, like fresh herbs. Green onions can be chopped and frozen for convenience. They are generally well-tolerated but are part of the Allium family, so those with onion or garlic allergies should exercise caution.
