The money is one thing, but actually having scallions readily available is a great thing !

This exactly. I want my veggies and herbs on demand.

I froze green onions like this. When I thawed them out, they were mushy. Fine for cooking with, but they definitely won't work in a salad or for a saute where you want a crisp bite and firm texture. If you reach for them when you want to make a salad, you'll be disappointed. Still, this is great tip for not wasting food. I really liked what Noreen said about paying twice as much when you throw half of something away! Eye-opening.

Exactly what I was about to write; even with the same 'em. I feel the same way about waste. I bought a huge pile of green onions and garlic cloves yesterday - lucked out at the store because this is the first time I've seen such a large pile for so little money. For once I got the bounty.

Yes! Darn right! They taste fantastic, every single bit of it!

I have frozen green peppers, but not green onions! I will have to do that now. I love green onions in scrambled eggs. Thanks for the tip!

This is genius! I never thought to do this. I am so tired of wasting green onions, and not having them when I need them! Thanks for sharing this!

At least you have some when you need them and not finding rotten ones in your fridge. I’ll be doing this for sure!

Thanks Noreen. You can also flash freeze them. Once you cut them up, spread them out on a cookie sheet and place in the freezer. Once frozen, put them in individual freezer bags and you will have the right amount that you need. Plus, if you lay the flat, they take up less space in the freezer than the plastic container. Thanks, again.

Thank you for this tip. As an Asian we have to use green unions in almost all our daily cookings However often times we have to throw away some when buying too much not using soon enough. Now I can freeze them and save money and time

So thankful for this tip. Needed just a couple green onions as a garnish for a soup recipe & almost didn't buy them ... until I remembered seeing this video. Now I'm the proud owner of frozen & chopped green onion.

Another thing you can do instead of sticking them in the fridge is to put them in a glass or a jar with a little water and leave them on your countertop.They keep growing! Cut off what you need. Refresh the water every few days. They keep coming back.

Noreen, I had no idea it was so easy to freeze green onions. Thank you so much for bringing this up for those of us who may be a little dyslexic in the kitchen! Luv it!

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HELPFUL. Never knew I could freeze them, will be doing that tomorrow. My husband planted an entire planter full, and we have more than we can use right now.

My entire goal in watching this is to never have to grocery shop if I can help it. Thank you!

Also it’s REALLY convenient to just reach into your freezer when you want sliced green onions for a recipe instead of reaching into your fridge to find slimy ones you can even think of using.

Not only that but I never have them when I want them. Thank you so much.

I love your cooking/money saving/ life tips videos!!!! It’s easy tips but stuff I’ve never thought of🤔 so helpful for the younger crowd or folks that need that reminder. My mom as always been so smart about stuff like this. But as age has crept upon her and doesn’t cook anymore I’ve lost some of her guidance in the kitchen so this is very helpful ❤️

I bought two bundles in spring this year and planted them straight in the garden and basically had endless green onions thru early fall. There are still a lot of fresh new stems, so I'll make use of your method to store them over winter - Thanks!

I can’t believe this has never occurred to me!!! Thank you!

Oh Noreen! THANK YOU!!! I love green onions too, but never buy them because of the waist! Sometimes is the simple things that you never think about that makes the biggest difference! LOVE this idea, and love your videos!

I always figured they would not hold up if frozen! Thanks! Will certainly do it !

This is the first year I’ve planted my scallions. I’ve been blessed to have them thrive. Im so excited to find a way to keep them fresh year round! Thanks so much.

This is exactly what I do with all my greens 🥬. Thank you for alerting the viewers!

Thanks, never even thought of that, yep tired of throwing the bad ones out.

Thank you so much!! I had no idea you could freeze these!! I cut up way too much for a potluck at church and I have two containers left over from last night, so this was perfect timing! Love your Channel thank you so much again. 💓💓

Noreen, every word you say in this video is so true ! I throw away more green onion than there is in the universe !!! Every week I buy 2-3 bunches and in four days it’s slime !!! Thank you, thank you, thank you !! 😊😊

Thank you for the great tip! I love green onions and this will help me so much to keep my supply of onions fresh for use in recipes.

Great tip i always feel bad as well when i don't get a chance to use all of my green onions.great tip.they are tasty in chicken or tuna salad as well.

This may be the best tip I’ve ever learned from KZread. As soon as I buy green onions now, I chop them up and freeze. So fresh when I pull out a handful. Thank you!

You have no idea how much you've rocked my world just now. Thank you for this video!

Thank you! I can’t believe I didn’t think of that! You explained the situation perfectly!

It’s true! I love them, buy 2 bunches at a time, & throw half or more out. You’re reading my mind. I never thought of chopping & freezing some. Thank you for such a useful tip! 😊

I do things like this all the time. Not only does it save money, it saves time. Thanks for the video.

Great idea! I often just plant mine. I live in the South, so they regenerate for a long time. This will be perfect for when it gets too cold for this to work.

Great idea! More then not wasting, I love the idea of the convenience. Thank you! I think I will try bell pepper as well.

Thank you, i didn’t know these freeze well, I’m going to freeze mine.

I love it! Not only you are saving the money you paid for the onions but also sometimes you need them for a recipe and if you don’t have them, you have to go to the store to buy them, spend money on gas, then you go to the store and buy other things you wouldn’t buy if you were at home, so you end up spending more!

Great idea!!! I never thought about doing this. I'm always throwing away slimy green onions. Not anymore thank you

I love you, Noreen. You saved my Asian dips.

Mrs Noreen this is a great big deal to us . We love em and we buy them all the time. But they always go bad before they are all eaten. Thank you so much for the great tip!!!

Hi Noreen! Thanks for this tip on freezing green onions! I always want to buy them, but as you said, I end up tossing the aged (over a week) slimy ones. I didn't know they could be frozen! So thank you very much!

I just watched this video and thought, "Why not?" So I went to my vegetable drawer in fridge and pulled out 3 bunches of green onions. Chopped them up and put into container and put in freezer. While I was at it chopped a mixture of colored and green peppers and froze them also. Great tip..thanks!

Often time I come across a recipe that calls for green onion and I don’t have any. With your tip, I won’t run out! Thanks for sharing!

I was just thinking about doing this today with a bunch that I bought, but wasn’t sure how they would keep frozen. I am also so tired of throwing them out. Thanks for the great tip! 👍🏻

Great tip!! Appreciate it so much. I freeze same as you, as well as celery. All so handy for soups also. Thank you.❤️👵🏻🐶

I grow them and always have an abundance left over, never knew I could freeze them, thanks for this.

This is terrific. In the past I have always dehydrated and stored everything that I grow in my garden. Now I’ll be able to freeze some. Thanks a lot.

I do carrots, celery, bell peppers and onions and now I am going to the kitchen cut up my green onion and freeze them . Thank you.. love little cost saving ideas. Stay safe

Thank you Noreen. I will certainly be trying that.

TY for this great tip video regarding to freeze the scallions! I really appreciate it. I always had to throw the rest away which is not good for me to do that.

I think that’s great I’m going to buy them when their cheap and freeze them. I’m always using green onions in large quantities weekly

Great way to have them available and on hand at any time. Thanks!

I do this and it works well . I can vouch for that. It's a good tip thanks for sharing

Nice simple straight forward video. Good job and Thanks!

Yes! I will always has green onions when I need them.

I just found your channel. Love this video. I never thought about freezing sliced green onions. I'm going to try this. I've wasted a lot of money on rotten green onions over the 40 decades I've been out of my parents home. I was on the phone with my mom(88) when I found this video and she didn't know it either. Told her I'd watch and tell her later. Thank you.

Such a great idea 💡! I’ll do that from now on! Thanks a million 😊

Wow really didn’t know I could do that thank you!!

Another great tip! Thanks Noreen!

Ooh, super useful info. I'm gonna try this. Since the pandemic, though, I started a farm in my apartment, propagating vegetables from grocery scraps. What I'll probably do is plant the roots of these onions, and freeze the rest. Thanks for the tip!! :D

I've been freezing onions for years also, along with peppers, celery, and herbs. I also juice and freeze lemon and lime juices in small-cube ice trays, and leftover canned tomato sauce or paste, then bag up the frozen cubes. It is amazing how convenient it is to grab these pre-chopped items from the freezer! Thanks for your video.

Thank you, I did not know how easy this is! I will not be throwing them out and I can buy them early for my Christmas munchies day!

Thank youuuuuu!!! Why didn’t I think of this??? I hated having to throw out the unused green onions!!! I am so excited to freeze the remaining bunch! God bless❤️🙏🏼

I started doing this 40 years ago. It's a wonderful thing to do. I Love green onions., At least you have them when you're ready for them. 🤗❤️😘

Thanks for this tip, I never knew u could freeze them, I love them so much.

I just in the last year have started freezing a lot of fruit and veggies. With the internet i have learned all kinds of things. I love your channel. Im 64 and never leatned how to can but i may take a stab at that. Tools I'd need will be costly. My grandmother passed away 6 yrs ago and i gave all of her canning supplies to a neighbor. I wish i had keep them now

Thank you. We grew a bunch of green onions and my husband pulled them all. I hate anything going to waste and your right. I do end up buying green onions every week from the grocery store. I'm glad I will get use out of them.

yep I have to cut up EVERYTHING as soon as I get it home. A lot goes to waste if I don't do this right away. I freeze everything on a sheet pan and then put in separate freezer bags! I also do up a few "soup bags" with a bit of each veg. (fresh veg from the farmers market is so good compared to frozen bag of veg from the store). Just throw the bag - well not the actual bag - in with the stock to make soup - a real timesaver! If I'm freezing cooked chicken breast I add one or two of those to the soup bag. Makes for a good freezer bag of chicken pot pie also. For a party of one this is a timesaver.

Amazing tip! Thanks for sharing!

Terrific idea. I hate wasting these but didn't think to freeze them. I use it all too. "I paid for them, I'm going to use them all". Yep, lol. I've even taken to using the tip chefs give when coring, chopping and peeling outer layers of veggies. To save it all and accumulate in freezer bags in the freezer, even onion/garlic peels (which ad nice colour and flavour) for soup broths. It makes the best broth, just strain well and clarify to take any scum off.

What a great idea! Thank you Ma'am!

Love them in so much stuff & scrambled eggs

Froze them in container like the video but was doubtful that they would turn out as nice and unstuck. I was so wrong. This is the most useful tip I have had with freezing green onions! They are perfect! I made my European potato salad (sliced warm potatoes, oil and vinegar shaken mix, salt, pepper, sometimes bacon bits, and sprinkled with green onions). I cannot tell the difference between these frozen bits that immediately thaw or the freshly cut. I'm a single person who does not eat many green onions and got tired of throwing most of them out since I don't like waste. This solves a huge problem for me as green onions are always available. Thanks so much!

Great tip , I’m gonna do it now
