How to Store Green Onions and Keep Them Fresh for Weeks

Step 1

Fill the jar a 1/4 full with fresh water (about an inch of water).

Step 2

Place the green onions, root side down, in the jar so the roots sit in the water.

Step 3

Cover the green onions with a bag, then secure the opening of the bag around the top of the jar using a rubber-band.

Step 4

Store the green onions in the fridge for up to 2-3 weeks (or longer). Change the water as needed. There will be some moisture that builds up inside the bag (this is okay and normal).

Step 5

Cut the onions in half so the green and white parts are separated. This way the onions will fit in the paper-towel and bag.

Step 6

Roll up the green onions (both greens and whites) in a paper-towel.

Step 7

Place the wrapped onions in a bag. Alternatively, you may use a storage container. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Step 8

No instructions needed; just place the onions directly in the crisper drawer in the fridge.

Step 9

Fill the jar a 1/4 full with fresh water (about an inch of water).

Step 10

Place the green onions root-side bowl in the jar so the roots sit in the water.

Step 11

Place the jar on the counter, at room temperature, near a window so they get plenty of light.
