What Part Of The Green Onion Do You Use

Green onions are a great addition to any meal, but did you know that they can be used in so many different ways? Green onions can be eaten raw or cooked, and their flavor profile is strong enough that they pair well with dishes that would normally use scallions or chives. It’s time to put this versatile ingredient to work!

If you’re looking for a way to add some green onion flavor to your dishes, try adding them raw as a garnish or dressing ingredient (for example: salads). Or try grating them over dishes that need an extra kick—they’re great stirred into soups and stews to give them more depth.

You’ll need to hang them upside down somewhere dark and dry—like a pantry or closet—for several weeks until they’re completely dry and crispy. Then crumble up those crispy balls into your favorite dishes or sprinkle them on top of salads for a fresh accent note!
