If you also fall into this category, stop doing it.
In fact, several vegetables contain ethylene, which causes onion germination.
In addition to avoiding storing onion with other types of vegetables, it should also not be stored with fruit and should always be kept separate.
Use paper. The role of paper in the preservation of onion is very important and protects it from germination.
If you don’t want the onion to germinate quickly, you can store it wrapped in newspaper or a paper bag. However, keep in mind that whenever you store the onion wrapped in paper, you need to keep it in a cool place.
A breathable bag is also great for storage, hanging in a ventilated place away from rain and light.
Avoid storing onion in the refrigerator. Many people make the mistake of storing onions in the refrigerator.
Absolutely avoid this mistake, since in the refrigerator, due to humidity and evaporation from other foods, the onion sprouts quickly.
Avoid plastic bags. Many people bring the onion home from the store in a plastic bag and store it that way.
However, the onion heats up more in the plastic bag and can also condense, creating ideal conditions for germination.
Therefore, you should always remove the onion from the plastic bag after purchase.
In addition to paper, you can also wrap it in cotton fabric or store it in breathable baskets in a cool, dry place.
This onion will last you until the new harvest. In fact, onion grown from seed is the best.
It is a young plant, full of energy.
Its fabrics are robust and succulent. This onion tolerates cellar conditions much better.
The onion grown from a bulb is a few weeks earlier, but it is also older because it was already a bulb last year.
So, if you have onions in your garden from both growing methods, know that you should consume your bulb onions by December.
The seed onion lasts until the new harvest if the storage conditions are respected.
