  • Green Onions with roots and bulbs in tact

Instructions

To Preserve Your Onions:

  1. Line a tray with parchment paper.
  2. Cut your onions down to 1″ above the bulb into pieces and place the cuttings on the parchment paper trying not to overlap.
  3. Stick the tray in the freezer for an hour or so, or until the onions are frozen.
  4. Place the cuttings in a freezer safe bag and place back in the freezer.
  5. Use when needed.

To Grow Your Onions in Water:

  1. Place the remaining stalk with the bulb and roots intact in a glass jar.
  2. Fill with water so that the roots and bulbs are covered. Do not submerge though. You want at least 1/2″ sticking out of the water.
  3. Change the water every few days.
  4. Watch them grow in no time.
  5. Snip off what you need and if they grow faster than you can use them just cut them back and preserve the cuttings!
