Storage & Uses
It's best to keep spring onions in the refrigerator. They contain more moisture than mature onions, so keeping them out at room temperature for longer than a couple of days could cause them to mold. Keep them in the crisper drawer, sealed well in a plastic bag, and they'll stay fresh for about two weeks.
Shelf-Life
Spring onions: also called scallions, can be eaten cooked or raw, and have a milder flavor than regular onions. They can keep for up to 3 days on the shelf, or two weeks in the fridge.
Storage Tips
First, wrap the green onions in a slightly damp paper towel. The dampness provides the humidity needed for proper storage; if the towel is too wet though, it can promote rotting. If you prefer, you can sprinkle the towel with water after wrapping the green onions.
Storage Temperature
Onions' shelf life is contingent on the many ways & methods that you choose to store it. Freshly harvested onions will last for 1-2 months in the fridge. Properly stored onions will last 2-3 months at room temperature.
