From the Garden: Green Onions
These flowering onions are commonly thought to be immature white onions, but are actually a variety all their own. Often called salad onions because of their mild flavor, they should have dry, bright green tops and firm white bases and be stored unwashed in a plastic bag in your vegetable crisper.
The greens should be used as soon as possible, but the white bulb can last up to two weeks. Use them interchangeably in recipes calling for green onions, spring onions or Chinese shallots.
