Storage Tips

  • Proper storage is crucial for extending the shelf life of yellow onions:
  • • Cool, Dry, Dark, and Ventilated Place: Store whole, unpeeled yellow onions in a cool,
  • dry, dark place with good air circulation. A pantry, cellar, or a mesh bag in a cupboard is
  • ideal. Temperatures between 45-55°F (7-13°C) are best. Good ventilation prevents
  • moisture buildup, which can lead to sprouting or rotting.
  • • Avoid Refrigeration (for whole onions): Do not store whole, unpeeled onions in the
  • refrigerator, as the cold, humid environment can cause them to become soft, sprout
  • faster, and absorb odors from other foods.
  • •
  • Avoid Storing with Potatoes: Onions and potatoes should not be stored together, as
  • they both release gases that can cause the other to spoil more quickly.
  • • Cut Onions: Once cut, onions should be stored in an airtight container or a tightly
  • sealed plastic bag in the refrigerator to prevent their strong odor from affecting other
  • foods. Use within 7-10 days.
  • • Freezing: Chopped or sliced raw onions can be frozen. Spread them in a single layer on
  • a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer to an airtight freezer bag. Frozen
  • onions are best used in cooked dishes, as their texture will soften upon thawing. They
  • can last for several months.
