How to store onions
If you don’t want to store your onions in the fridge, there are other ways you can store them that will help keep them fresh and last for longer. When storing your onions, there are 4 things you should always remember.

In a cool environment
If you want your onions to stay fresh, it's important that you store them in a cool place with temperatures of between 45-55 degrees. If the environment is humid, the moisture in the air will cause your onions to rot or start to sprout.

Well ventilated
Make sure your onions can breathe. Storing them in steamer baskets or mesh bags will keep the skin of your yellow onions tight so it can be easy to peel them. Avoid storing onions in plastic bags because plastic doesn’t allow them to breathe and moisture tends to get trapped inside and this will speed up the rotting process.

Dark place
Your pantry, basement, or garage, or somewhere that is dark and cool is the best place to store your onions because if you leave them in a place where there’s sunlight, they will quickly spoil. A dark place will help in keeping the temperature constant because fluctuating temperatures and humidity will create moisture in the onions which isn’t a good combination.

Dry place
By now you know why it's important to store your onions in a dry place. A dry environment will help keep humidity and moisture at minimal levels and this will help keep your onions fresh for longer.

Tips to remember when storing onions
• If your onions are homegrown, cure them before you store them because they’ll mold if you don’t.
• Your onions can last up to 8 months in storage, but you’ll need to keep checking on them to remove those that are going bad so they don’t spoil the rest.
• Avoid storing your onions near other produce as most fruits and veggies tend to absorb the flavor of onions.
