FAQs
How do you prepare onions for storage?
If harvesting your own onions, you’ll want to cure (aka dry) them before putting in storage. Simply move them to a dry, dark area under layers of newspaper. Otherwise, onions can go straight from the grocery store into onion storage containers. No need to wash them before storage!
How long can onions last in storage?
If kept in a cool, dry place, like inside onion storage containers in the pantry or cabinet, onions can last up to two to three months.
