How to fight Corona
1. Every1 should be vigilant. Avoid stepping out of your homes until it is absolutely essential.
2. Those over the age of 60 should remain inside their homes only.
3. Avoid going to hospitals for routine check-ups. If there are surgeries that can be postponed, kindly do so.
4. Do not cut the wages of those working in your homes, support staff and drivers, gardeners.
5. Stay away from rumours.

[@doriswhite1348]

Good tips. Thank you. Also, support your immune system. Getting enough rest helps; the body needs to refresh.
Get FREE Vitamin D , which is good for the immune system, from the sun's rays. It's absorbed mostly through the hands and face. Wearing a face mask and/or sunscreen blocks this. 15 minutes a day is good.

[@Aydee2020]

@Mejo lmao

[@Dreamskater100]

So do you post this on all video's? Cookery, sports, knitting, gardening, tv shows..? I think people will get advice like that if they need it & we come to these video's to relax from worries & so much stress & learn about freezing spring onions here.

[@jelly4074]

Step one - Be rich.
Not everyone is rich like you to stay at home. People with minimum wages like me have to go out everyday or I will be starved.

[@dburd58]

If I wanted covid advice I’d look elsewhere. I’m over 60, cancer survivor, chubby and never stayed home or wore a mask, really disappointed to see this will pass on your videos in the future.

[@E_Angel03]

For people who want to store it fresh (not frozen, like the video)....
1. Make sure your onion is dry no water
2. Wrap it completely in a paper towel... do not stuff it together!
3. Store the wrapped spring onion inside of a sealed ziplock bag, squeeze out air
4. Store in the crisper drawer of your fridge.
Mine lasts for up to 1 month ...
if you notice the paper towel getting moist change the paper towel and replace with new ones. I change sometime just once or not at all

Quick question (though it's been 2 years..); should one want to store in a storage bowl in the refrigerator or freezer, can the bowl be lined with the paper towels as done with the zip lock bags?

[@E_Angel03]

I totally agree I live alone and hated how much I was wasting and have been able to freeze so many veg and fruit I never knew you could.

I use most of the scallion, and then I plant the root part in a flower pot in my
driveway. They start to grow again. Every time I need green onion, I just cut more of the green part
off and use it. The root in the ground will keep sending up new shoots.
All my plants are supermarket saves like this, and some of them have
been going strong for 4 years or so. Always super fresh. Always organic. No need to worry about storage. Haha

First the problem with the jar is that the lid will be frozen and harder to remove til it thaws a little. What I do is use a empty coffee creamer container (they are clear) put the cut up onions in, freeze and simply open the life and shake out the contents. Works like a charm.

I find it best to freeze things like this first open on a tray or colander over night then once frozen (chest freezer is best) to then put in bags. This stops all those extra crystals of moisture forming. Great for peppers, berries etc etc.

Agreed. I chop onions. Spread on a sheet to freeze in freezer. Once frozen I transfer to a Ziploc bag or vacuum seal. No clumping.

When they are frozen, ice crystals puncture the cell walls leaving a product that taste like lawn clippings.

Dry before and after chopping. Freezing with all the wetness shown in the video results in mushy onion tops (good for frying).

[@nyslor1982]

Do they have the same texture if you do dry them before and after you defrost them?

[@trumplostlol3007]

@@nyslor1982 Unlike squash, you don't need any texture for green onions. Once you cook green onions, they will become very "flimpsy" anyway.

The ONLY problem with freezing vegetables is texture, not taste. If your green onion is in a concealed bag, the taste really don't change much after freezing.

You can also cut the green off and cook with it right away and put the white bulb with roots into a glass of water. It'll regrow if it's got a little sun and that way you'll have at least two harvests out of each batch of onions.

[@meauxjeaux431]

A hell of a lot more than two harvests if you plant them in dirt. I get MANY harvests in the course of 6 months. Keep the bottom 3 inches and plant them 2 inches deep. then Just go outside and cut off whatever amount you need, whenever you want fresh ones. Cut 3 inches above the soil level. They regenerate in two weeks.

if you don't want to freeze your onions you can keep them in a jar or vase with enough water to cover the bulbs and cover it up with a plastic bag in the fridge, this will keep them fresh longest. works very well. i also like to do this with my celery but i don't bag that. you do need to keep the water changed though i don't like to let the water go very long myself.

Not sure why you would do this as fresh is readily available and frozen does change in texture and flavor. Generally this is used uncooked as a fresh ingredient.

[@Anione111]

I guess it is to avoid wastage, which is ingrained into the psyche of some cultures. The green onions are sold in pre-packaged bunches and may be too much for a small meal for one or two people. This is an option to store it and use it for another meal. Certainly, it will not taste like the fresh ones, but may impart some flavor and avoid buying another bunch and wasting half of that too.
