How to make sure onions stay fresh longer: the perfect place for storing is named
Like most vegetables, onions can spoil quickly if not stored properly, leading to unnecessary waste and extra trips to the grocery store.
Thus, to keep your onions fresh for as long as possible, it's important to know how to store them properly. Sarah Taylor, food hygiene expert at High Speed Training, shared with Express her top tips for "prolonging the life" of your onions, ensuring they stay in perfect condition until you're ready to use them.
The key to storing onions is to find the right environment in the house even if it's not in the kitchen.
"Onions are best stored in a dry, dark place and should not be kept in the fridge," Sarah advised.
Keeping this vegetable at room temperature helps prevent excessive moisture, which can lead to mold and spoilage.
Another important tip is to take the onions out of the plastic bags after you bring them home from the supermarket. It is also equally important to avoid putting them next to potatoes.
Keeping onions in a well-ventilated area helps them stay dry, while placing them next to potatoes can cause both to spoil faster due to the gases released from each vegetable.
If you chopped the onion in advance, don't throw it away as you can store it in the freezer.
