Ingredients
Directions
1. Freezing: This is the easiest and most common method for preserving green onions, including wild ones.
Wash and chop: Thoroughly wash the green onions to remove any dirt. Trim off the root end and any damaged parts. Chop them into your desired size.
Blanch (optional): Blanching helps preserve the color and flavor. Briefly submerge the chopped onions in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain well.
Pack and freeze: Place the chopped green onions in freezer bags or airtight containers. Squeeze out as much air as possible before sealing. Label with the date and freeze for up to 3-4 months.
2. Drying: Drying concentrates the flavor and allows for long-term storage.
Wash and chop: Clean and chop the green onions as you would for freezing.
Dehydrate: Use a food dehydrator, oven (on a low setting), or air dry them. The goal is to remove all moisture to prevent mold.
Store: Once completely dry, store the green onions in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.
