Long-Term Onion Storage: Keep Your Onions Fresh for Up to Two Years!

After curing and trimming, the onions need to be stored in a manner that allows for air circulation and keeps them cool and dry:

1. Location:
   • Choose a cool, dry place with temperatures ideally between 35-40°F (1-4°C). Basements, cellars, or a cool pantry can work well.
2. Containers:
   • Store onions in mesh bags, old pantyhose, or any container that allows air to circulate. Hang them to avoid any pressure points which can encourage spoilage.
3. Avoid Moisture and Light:
   • Keep onions away from moisture as it can promote rot. Darkness is preferable as light can cause onions to sprout.
