What are the storage methods for green onions

Scallions are very good things for us, and in Beifeng, many people like to eat scallions. Scallions have so many benefits, and I believe there are quite a few people who like to eat them. Green onions are not afraid of freezing in winter and are also very cold-resistant. How should we store it in winter? Let’s now take a look at how to store green onions.

1. Green onions are afraid of being moved but not frozen, and have a particularly strong resistance to cold. It is fine to place them on a small open-air balcony (the kind of iron frame balcony that sticks out of the window) in the winter. You can bundle the purchased and dried green onions into bundles of about 10 kilograms and stack them on the balcony one by one. Note that there should be a gap in the middle to allow ventilation, otherwise it will easily rot. In addition, when stored outdoors, it should be covered with plastic film to prevent rain and snow. During storage, the bundles should be opened and checked regularly, and rotten ones should be removed in time. However, when the onions are frozen in cold weather, do not move the bundled onions, otherwise they will rot easily. Be sure to handle it with care when eating and bring it indoors to thaw slowly.

2. When drying green onions, be sure to keep the green leaves, so as to maintain its vitality. Otherwise, once the leaves are broken, the green onions will gradually become soft or even rot, making them difficult to preserve. Before storing, the onion leaves must be dried in the sun to wilt. It usually takes three or four days to dry them. Once the leaves are wilted, you can braid them and place them with the roots facing down in a dark place on the balcony. Remember not to get the green onions wet or they will rot easily. But it is not good to be too dry either, as the green onions will become shriveled and hollow.

3. If you live on the first floor and have a small yard, it will be more convenient to store green onions. You can spread 3 to 4 centimeters of sand on the flat ground in the leeward place, and then lay the dried and bundled scallion roots face down on the sand, with a width of 1 to 1.5 meters. After stacking, build up 15 cm high sandy soil around the roots of the green onions. Finally, cover it with straw mats or plastic film to prevent rain.

Scallions can also help reduce the accumulation of bad cholesterol. If you eat onions regularly, no matter how fat you are, your cholesterol will not increase, and it can also enhance your physical fitness. Green onions are such a good thing for us. If they can be stored well and eaten from time to time, the effect will be really good.
