Revolutionary Way to Store Winter Onions – Maximize Freshness and Shelf Life

Use Wisely: Once cut, wrap leftover onion in beeswax wrap or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Avoid Plastic Bags: They trap moisture and lead to mold.

Check Monthly: Remove any sprouting or soft onions right away to prevent others from spoiling.

Variations:

Freezing Onions: Chop and freeze for quick-cooking convenience. They lose their crunch but retain flavor.

Dehydrated Onions: Slice thinly and dry in a dehydrator for long-term pantry use.

FAQ:

Q: Can I store onions in the fridge?
A: Whole, unpeeled onions should not be refrigerated—it increases humidity and leads to faster spoilage.

Q: Why do my onions sprout in storage?
A: Sprouting is caused by warmth or light. Keep them in a cool, dark, dry space to prevent this.

Q: Can I grow new onions from sprouted ones?
A: Absolutely! Plant the sprouting onion in soil, and you’ll likely get green onion tops or even a small bulb.
