How to succesfully freeze spring onions (salad onions) so that they don't go 'mushy'?

Hi
Have bought some reduced! :j large spring onions (aka: salad onions!).
They are sized more like leeks than the thin spring onions I have seen for years; I didn't know they made them that size (u learn something new every day!
).
Which is great for VFM, but not - of course - if I can't find a use for them, & have to bin them!
So: can I freeze them? Being high-water content (I assume!) I fear they will go 'mushy'
if I just freeze them as they are; so I was wondering if I should chop them into chunks & put them in ice cube trays??
Has anyone tried this??

I would think they would be too mushy for salads but you could use them in a stir fry etc..0

Pea and spring onion soup. Nice and light
loads of recipes online0 -
I've frozen home grown spring onions by chopping them up, spreading the slices on the chopping board and open freezing for an hour or so, then putting in a freezer bag(well, two as they can still the freezer out a bit!)
They're fine in stir fries etc but I rarely eat them raw anyway, too many complaints from OH!0 -
Stick them in the salad drawer of your fridge, with a layer of kitchen roll at the bottom of it. I've bought leeks, spring onions and other veg reduced to a few pence before and have done this and they have been fine for weeks afterwards. Just make sure you give a wipe to the veg before putting it in if there's any moisture on it and that the salad drawer is clean and without condensation first.0
