Spring onions are a versatile ingredient that is a staple in many cuisines.
The green part of the spring onion has delicate hues that work well as a garnish.
However, keeping these prized alliums fresh and crisp can often be a challenge.
Thankfully, a simple yet effective trick involving paper towels is revolutionising the way home cooks preserve the freshness of their spring onions.
The paper towel trick, hailed as a game-changer by seasoned chefs and home cooks alike, offers a straightforward solution to extend the shelf life of spring onions and ensure they remain crisp and flavourful for longer periods.
Additionally, the paper towel helps to absorb any excess moisture that may accumulate, preventing the onions from becoming soggy or slimy.
Once wrapped in the damp paper towel, the spring onions can be stored in the refrigerator in a plastic bag or airtight container.
The paper towel should be checked and replaced if it becomes dry to ensure optimal freshness.
Using this method helps to keep spring onions fresh and crisp for almost two weeks longer.
