Green Onions (Scallions)

June - September

Cooking Tips

  • Use to top salads, potatoes, eggs, soups, and dips.
  • Add chopped green onions and feta cheese to a batch of savory scones.
  • Lightly sauté whole onions in sunflower oil until tender and add to beef tacos.
  • Toss a handful into stir-fries and curries.

Details

Think of green onions as the kid brother to the more moody, more pungent grown onion bulb. Milder with a sweeter flavor, green onions are essentially onions that were harvested before fully developing into a complete bulb. Both the white and green parts are edible. When buying, look for bunches with bright green leaves that stand upright and firm bulbs.

Nutrition: Green onions are high in vitamins A, C and K.

Storage Tips

Chop off any remaining roots and the tops of the green leaves. The onions can then be stored in the crisper drawer of your fridge for a couple of days. For longer term storage, slice the entire onion (bulb and greens) into small slices and freeze.
