Hi,

I have a quick question about how to be OS with spring onions. They are cheap from Aldi so I always get a bunch for the week ahead yet by Wednesday they are already looking really sad for themselves ... is there any way around this? I store them in the fridge veg box

I keep mine in a glass of water tho they do sprout a bit - doesn't bother me!

Depends what you use them for. I would wash and chop half the bunch and freeze them. Lovely for champ!

clean,trim and wrap in plastic bag in the fridge.

I do that with mine when I just have the bud left, they grow into full new spring onions Don't know why I didn't think to do that when I bought them ....

I use them in salads, stirfries, pasta sauces & stews.

I buy loads when they are on offer & chop the & freeze them.

I've never found the solution to this and pay more for the packed ones.

I use a lot of spring onions and it does add up, but it's better for me to pay a bit more and them be fresh when I want to use them than buy a cheap bunch and them wilt on me.

Sorry if this sounds obvious - but what are the packed ones?

This thread has more suggestions for making them last longer:

How do you store spring onions?

I'll add this thread to that one later to keep the suggestions together.
