Care & Handling

Availability - Green Giant® Fresh Green Onions are available year round.

Selection - Green onions should have bright green tops and firm white bottoms.

Storage - Store green onions away from odor-sensitive foods such as corn and mushrooms, as they will absorb the odor of the onions. Remove any rubber bands and any damaged leaves and store in plastic bags in the crisper section of the refrigerator. They'll last up to five days.

Preparation - Trim the roots and the green tops and leave about an inch of green where it's fairly light green. Then cut crosswise into thin slices or halve lengthwise and chop crosswise for smaller pieces.

Cooking - Top your favorite casseroles, salads, baked potatoes, or sandwiches with slices of green onion to add extra flavor. Green onions make a beautiful addition to stir-fries, soups, and egg salad.

Freezing - To freeze green onions, trim then slice, or leave whole. Place in air-tight freezer bags and store in freezer.
