A tip for green onions!
Did you know you can regrow green onions? When slicing the ends, leave the bottom part (the light green part) whole. Take a glass and add an inch or two of water, and stick the bottom of the green onion in. Make sure the green onion is not completely immersed in the water, you want the end to poke out.
The green onion will start to regrow! Just swap out the water every day or two, and use the green onions as needed.
