Keep your onions fresh and germ-free for months...

They are beautiful, but above all, very affordable at this time of the year, as long as you know how to store them properly if you wish to buy a large quantity!

First of all, onions must be kept away from sunlight and humidity. Light can easily make them bitter. A good place to store them... Your garage! Onions prefer dry, cool, airy, and ventilated places. Because heat will make them sprout and cold will make them rot.

If you've cooked only half of your onion, know that it preserves very well in the fridge.

[ad]

Place it on a paper towel, cut side down, and wrap it in a plastic bag, as tightly as possible. You could also wrap it in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place it in your vegetable drawer.

Do you tend to store onions and potatoes in the same place! This is a serious mistake, the onion will absorb the moisture from the potatoes and cause them to rot.

A cut onion can be stored for up to 30 days in the refrigerator and up to 26 months in the freezer in a ziploc bag.
