Green onions are a delicious topping to many soups and salads but they will go bad fast when stored in the refrigerator crisper drawer. However there is a way to keep green onions fresh for several weeks or more, and it’s so simple!
To keep your green onions fresh put them with the bulb end down in a jar or glass with some water in it. Just put enough water in the jar to stay above the roots and the green onions will last for a long time. Change the water every couple days and the green onions will keep on keeping on!
I’ve kept these green onions growing on our kitchen counter since before Christmas so we are now going on 3 weeks in the jar. An alternative to this would be actually planting the bulb end in soil and keeping them indoors to harvest as needed.
By using this method you can keep your green onions fresh for quite a while. You can even plant the bulbs after using the green tops and they will regrow the foliage.
