storing onions

Store in a cool, dark, well ventilated place. Onions need to be well ventilated, so remove them from plastic bags as soon as possible.

If well ventilated good quality brown onions can be kept for 6-8 months. Other onions do not store as long and need to be stored in a cool area to prevent sprouting. Do not refrigerate or store in plastic bags as this causes condensation and encourages decay.

Don't refrigerate or store with any food which may absorb their flavour.
