One of the benefits of having your own vegetable garden, is being able to pick just the right amount of green onions (cilantro, basil and parsley too).  Sure, the fresh picked flavor is wonderful (and organic).  But these often used ingredients usually cost $1 a bunch at the store (that’s 10+ cents an onion), and it seems like most of the time, part of the bunch gets slimy and ends up in the compost pile.
