Oregon State University Extension distinguishes whole dry onions from peeled or cut onions. Moisture, soft spots and odor should prompt inspection.

0 / 6 done

1. Separate whole dry onions from peeled or sliced onions before storing.
2. Keep whole dry onions in a cool, dark and dry spot away from sunlight.
3. Choose a breathable mesh bag or open container rather than a damp sealed plastic bag.
4. Check regularly and discard bulbs showing soft rot, mold or an abnormal smell.
5. Seal peeled or cut onion in a clean container and refrigerate; do not leave it at room temperature for prolonged periods.
6. Freeze surplus onion in cooking-size portions, label the date and use older portions first.
