To keep your onions fresh and avoid quick rotting, it’s crucial to understand the proper storage methods. Here’s how you can prevent your onions from going bad:
First, let’s discuss what to avoid. Do not store onions in bags as this can accelerate the rotting process. Instead, place onions in a basket and store them on an insulated balcony.
If your balcony isn’t glazed, move the onions indoors when cold weather sets in. Ideally, store them in a room with a temperature ranging from 0 to +2 degrees Celsius for optimal preservation through the winter. If this isn’t possible, onions can still be kept at room temperature (between +16 and +25 degrees Celsius), though their storage life will be slightly reduced.
Alternatively, onions can be stored indoors in nets, boxes, or even braided together.
