Scallion Storage: Keep Them Fresh for a Month & How to Dry Scallion Roots
Scallion Storage Method for Lasting Freshness for a Month & Drying Scallion Roots for Broth
Here’s how I store the scallions I frequently use in my cooking and how I dry the roots, which are perfect for making broth. Stored this way, the green parts of the scallion stay fresh for about 15 days, and the white stalks can last for a month! Some people chop and freeze scallions, but I’ve never found that method works well as frozen scallions tend to become tough and mushy. With this simple technique, you can enjoy fresh scallions for nearly a month without needing to freeze them. Discover this easy scallion storage method to keep them fresh for a long time! Wishing you a wonderful weekend~♡
Ingredients- Fresh scallions (as needed)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, trim the roots off the scallions using scissors. Don’t discard the roots; set them aside as they can be used later for making flavorful broth.
Step 2
Gently remove any wilted or dirty outer leaves from the scallions. It’s important to ensure the scallions are clean and fresh.
Step 3
Wash the trimmed scallion roots thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or debris. After washing, place the roots in a colander to drain excess water completely.
Step 4
Line an airtight container with a layer of newspaper. Cut the prepared scallions into desired lengths and arrange them neatly inside. Cover the scallions with another layer of newspaper to help regulate moisture. Finally, seal the container with a lid. Your scallions are now ready for optimal storage!
