Storage Guidelines

Commercial storage guidance for bunched green onions (scallions). Storage life depends on initial quality, maturity, cultivar and handling; this is not a household shelf-life guarantee.

Storage life drops sharply when green onions are held warmer than the optimum, with rapid yellowing and decay of the leaves. Highest freezing point: -0.8°C. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016).
