Keeping your scallions fresh is a relatively simple task, rinse and wrap in a damp paper towel, put in the crisper drawer, and they will stay for a couple of days. If you’d like to savor your scallions longer, you’ll need a glass jar. Fill the jar half-way with water, place the scallions in the jar with the white ends towards the bottom, then just place it in the fridge and they will keep for up to a week.

Scallions check off a lot of nutritional boxes as they are low in calories, but high in energy. They offer an excellent source of vitamin A, C, plus potassium, magnesium, calcium and fiber. So, when you need that little pick me up, or added flavor, just add scallions!
