How to best store scallions?

Question

They always get wilted in the crisper pretty quickly. Is there a better way to store them?

Answer

Stilltasty recommends that you wrap the scallions (or green onions) in plastic wrap, and that site also says they'll last 7-10 days that way.

I actually wrap them in a damp paper towel and then in plastic wrap. I keep this little packet in the crisper drawer. I've kept them about 2 weeks this way.

Either way, each time you open the packet you should check for damaged parts and discard them.
