How to keep your produce fresh for as long as possible

Storage time: 1-3 weeks. Arguably one of the coolest veggies to store, you can save yourself 70 cents at the checkout by regrowing your green onions without the need for potting soil or any semblance of a green thumb. Place the onions in a jar or glass, root-side down, and fill with water to cover the white roots. Store the jar near the window, change the water every couple of days, and voila: you can cut, eat and regrow these beauties at least a couple of times before they start to lose their flavour. As an added benefit, you’ll have a new houseplant of sorts. If making an onion profit isn’t your priority, you can store your green onions by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and storing them in either a loose plastic bag or container in your fridge. If your onions are starting to look limp and lifeless, give them an icy bath to shock them back to their former firm build. (Photo: Getty)
