when choosing scallions, choose some with full white bulbs and firm green tops. Avoid scallions with Saudi or brown green parts. They're past their prime to trim remove a couple of inches from the green tops if needed. They often have a scraggly texture. Rinse scallions under cold running water and pull off any bruised or slimy green leaves. Cut off and discard the root end or trim it if using whole scallions to store, wrap whole trim scallions in a paper towel and put them in a zip top bag in refrigerator. They will keep for up to a week.Source unknown
