I bet you have scallions in your fridge right now. It feels like we just bought them a few days ago, but every time you want to use them, you probably find them wilted or even rotted. Today, I want to show you a simple method for keeping scallions green and fresh in the fridge for a month. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

To answer the question: do you need to change the water?
You can anticipate how long you will use your herbs. If you plan to use them within 2-3 weeks, it is not necessary to change the water. If you plan to keep them for longer, you can change the water every few days, and they will last longer.
I live alone and usually make just one meal per day, so the scallions I bought often wasted before I can use all of them. You're a life saver, thank you!
Same here.
I usually minced mine up and store them in the freezer. Take out what I need and toss them in the pot, no need to thaw them first. Unless you prefer raw scallion, this freezer method works well. I do the same with cilantro
@@bostonlilac I do this with parsley for stews. Also, when opening a can of tomato paste, I get a freezer bag and inside that, I put sandwich bags, also sealed and with air squeezed out, each containing one tbsp tomato paste. Then, when making a stew, I just turn one of the sandwich bags inside out over the pot and the tbsp of tomato paste comes out cleanly!
@@bostonlilac Very good alternative idea. My scallions are usually a process of "how much should I throw away today!"

How did you know that I needed to learn this?! Are you a mind reader???
LOL i was thinking the same thing i literally just bought some scallions and was lamenting that they are wilting so fast lksdhg
Big Brother is a mind reader…are you seriously this naive!?
Please conduct the experiment, think of something several times a day, do not even discuss the subject with anyone. Next day you will have “suggestions “ in TH-cam on this particular subject. Guaranteed! It’s scary…
Thanks! I’ve had to throw away so many herbs because they went bad in the fridge. I’m definitely going to try this. 😊
I have both chiller and refrigerator..
I store all dry any fresh herbs,veg fruit in chiller...all looks fresh and as for dry pulses or curry powder are safe from tiny insects...
Refrigerator is only for fresh meat uncooked meat..
Plus cooked food...it's great..safe too..
@@loveme6067 Hi, may I know what kind of a chiller you are using?
Thanks for the tip. I buy two bunches, cut off all but 3 inches from the bottom, put them in water and watch them grow. Then I put them in soil and have scallions all summer long, only cutting the green part. They’ll grow back again and again. Come the fall or cold weather, then I pull out the whole onion. I save a lot of money and don’t have to run to the store when I want them.
Great idea! Thanks! Will give it a try.
What a great idea that I'd like to try. Do you only put the white part in water and, if so, how much water? Should the water cover the roots completely? Thank you!
@@glw5166 you cut off all the green stem, leaving the bulb and it’s roots. Put in water enough to cover the roots, changing water every day or so,and watch the green stem start growing. When they’re about an inch or even longer, transplant to potting soil and water daily. When green stem is long enough to cut, use them to flavor food but leave bulb in soil. The stem will grow again and again until you finally remove the bulb. Research other herbs that grow continuously by their roots.there are plenty that do. You’ll never have to buy scallions again. Good eating!
I tried this, the cuticle grows thicker with each regrowth and I can only get 3 harvests before its too stiff and waxy to eat. What is the secret to keeping them tender for the whole summer?
@@disarchitected it depends on how many you harvest, mine stay longer because it’s only me eating them. I live off the stems. Yes, I did notice the stems getting thicker but I loved that. In order to always have plenty, you let them grow all summer, cutting and growing, etc. at times, I will pull out the bulb. One of many vegetables that grow back again making it so economical to have. But you do what’s best for you.
I always buy a few bunches, clean them, cut them up and freeze them. Been doing this for years, works like a charm when I need a few or a lot!
This is exactly how I store my parsley, dill, and scallions, since all are staples in my kitchen.
I have stored fresh parsley up to 2 months like this (changing water once a week). Never thought to do it with scallions. Thanks a bunch (teehee). PS Love your channel and I use many of your recipes. Thank you. ❤️
This is a good method. Where I live, we have scallions and chives in the garden all year around. I planted the scallions by sticking some from the supermarket in the ground. The green parts get two or three feet tall. I bough a gadget "herb-storer" that does the same thing, and I regret it. It's not tall enough for larger herbs.
I've used this technique for storing asparagus and parsley but I never even thought of using it for scallions! Thanks for the tip.
So many helpful tips you bring your viewers, not just tasty recipes with beautiful presentations. Thank you, Mandy!
W🤯W! I've avoided buying the green onions for not using them fast enough and now I feel so much better to know I can do this and not waste the fresh food! Dancing in my kitchen, thank you!
Found a simple way to make a living, thanks to her producer. What a life!!!

You are amazing!! I have learned so much from you and your videos. Thanks!!
I needed this tip...thank you.
Yes, this is so helpful. Thank you! Love from Texas ❤
wow! what an excellent video- a clear, concise way of dealing with a problem that has troubled me for years - I like keeping scallions and cilantro around because they can be used in so many dishes, but they always seem to "expire" before I can use all of them. Thank-you so much for this. I am subscribing!
Happy to learn that basil survives in the fridge. I have had luck with basil outside of the fridge just stuck in a container with the ends in water and it grows roots.
Great tips!
You're the best Mandy!!

A wonderful tip and demonstration! Now I can always have scallions available. Thank you!
Fantastic as always!
My goodness, what a helpful video! For years I have often bought three bunches of green onions at a time because they are sold at a much lower price that way. I can’t pass up the bargain. However, I often can’t use them all before they start to go bad. Your technique will solve that problem, so thank you. I also like the straightforward, friendly way you explain everything.
Very helpful! Thank you!
Excellent tips, thank you!

Thank you so muchj! After throwing out a fair share of veggies, I switched to just buying what I need for a recipe on the day I make the recipe. But that’s not always possible. This is where your tips help.
Thanks for a very useful tip of storing sring onions
That was wonderful video presentation. I’m going to start this practice at home. 😊 thank you so much!
That is brilliant! I cannot count how many times I've had to toss bad scallions and other plants.
I now grow my own Thai/Holy Basil. I took some cuttings and got them to root. The plants are now up to my waist and I will never have to buy it again. That goes double for my various pepper plants. All of those are in pots so I can take them outside during the warmer months and keep them thriving inside during the winter. I believe I can do the same with the scallions, too.
Thanks again for a great idea.
Genius! Thank you!
Thank you ! Shared to friends who also cook ! ❤
