48 bunches Scallion aka "Green Onion", "Spring Onion", "Qing-Cong", "青葱", "青蔥" Scallion has long, hollow green stalks and small white bulbs. The bulbs resemble the flavor of a white onion though milder. The green part is distinctively oniony but with an additional fresh, grassy flavor. Scallion is often used as a garnish or a spice up during the end of the cooking. Some popular application includes scallion pancake and scallion oil. Scallion is available year-round. Handling Tip Selection Upright scallion with pearl white bulbs and bright green stalks. Undamaged stalks, unwilted tops, and no sliminess. Storage Scallion should be stored at 32°F (0°C) with a relative humidity of ninety-five to ninety-eight percent and light mist. The typical shelf life is two to three weeks. Higher temperatures decrease shelf life and increase leaf yellowing. Scallion is an odor producer and should not be stored with odor-sensitive products. Especially, fig, grape, mushroom, and corn. Scallion has a low level of sensitivity to ethylene, a naturally occurring gas that regulates ripening. High concentrations of ethylene will encourage sprouting in the scallion. Scallion produces a very low level of ethylene. Scallion is not sensitive to chilling injury and can be stored at 27°F - 28°F (-3°C to -2°C). Storage below 25°F (-4°C) may cause freezing injury.
