We have some info for ,,,,,,,,,, well, todays tip of the day is going to be is green onions. I love them this time of year especially on the grill first selection. When you buy the green onions, make sure they are nice and straight. See this . Straighter the better. They feel nice and fresh to the touch. Squeeze them, they feel fresh, they are the best. When you cant feel anything to them, when you squeeze them or hear anything and they start to bend like this around in the store, that means they are stored for too long and you dont want to buy them. When you bring them home in the refrigerator right away. Open up the bag and like all vegetables, never wash them before you store them but before you enjoy them. Dont store them for long. Like this time of year on the grill, i take the onions, cut the bottom off here a little bit off the top and on the grill with olive oil, salt and pepper, roll it around for 0 seconds, thats it 90 seconds and thats it and they are done and theyre wonderful and Tony Tantillo and always remember to eat fresh and stay healthy.
