Rinse the green onions thoroughly to remove dirt. Cut off the root ends, about 1-2 inches. If you want to regrow green onions, place the roots in a container with water, ensuring the roots are submerged. Replace water every couple of days. To prepare fresh green onions for cooking or garnishing, chop the green parts into small pieces. For regrowth, keep the roots in water in a sunny spot. After about a week, new shoots will develop, and you can harvest as needed. Alternatively, you can plant the roots in soil for more robust growth. Harvest when green shoots reach desired length. Store in the refrigerator wrapped in a damp paper towel for freshness.
