I harvested a purple onion and the tops were huge and green. I have cut
them up like chives and am drying them on the stove. Will they be any good
to use? Am I wasting my time? Suggestions?
Thanks,

Put them in soup or stews?

But why dry? Why not keep them in a pierced baggie
in the vegetable bin, and use in salads, cooking, etc.
Unless you have a cart-load g

How would these hold up frozen in ice cubes to drop into soup/stew later?
I've always meant to try it, but they never get past the stew pot or
omelettes.

I'd expect it to work fine, but it's probably more trouble than you
need to go to. When I freeze onions or celery for soup usage, I just
chop it up and put it in a plastic bag or tub, throw it in the
freezer, and stir it up once in a while as it freezes to keep it from
forming into a solid block.

Why not use them just like spring onions ?

I chop them and freeze them on a bun pan and then vacuum bag them until
needed. Has worked for me for several years now and is a lot easier than
ice cubing them.
