- Preserving fresh onions in the refrigerator

The simplest way to preserve fresh onions is to put them in the refrigerator. However, if you put onions directly in the refrigerator, the preservation time is only about a week. If you put onions with other vegetables and foods, the freshness of onions will decrease even more quickly.

To preserve onions longer, you should wrap onions in plastic wrap before storing them in the refrigerator. Let the onions dry completely and then divide them into small portions, enough for one use. Then, wrap them tightly with plastic wrap and put them in the refrigerator. This way, onions can stay fresh for a month.

- Preserving green onions with paper

You can wipe off the dirt and sand from the purchased onions and then put them in a box. Before that, line the box with a layer of tissue paper and then put the onions on top. Place a layer of paper on top of each layer of onion. The paper will help absorb excess moisture, keeping the onions fresh for a long time and not crushed.

Regularly open the onion box to check and replace the paper if it is wet and remove damaged onion parts.

- Store onions in the freezer

To preserve onions longer, you can leave them in the freezer.

Wash the purchased onions with water to remove dirt. Remove all the wilted leaves and roots.

Let the onions dry completely, then cut them into small pieces or pieces depending on the purpose of use.

Put the onions in a plastic bag or a box with a lid. The container for storing onions must be completely dry and waterproof to avoid the onions from freezing into lumps, making them difficult to use.

Tie the bag tightly or cover the box tightly to avoid losing the moisture of the onions and prevent the onion smell from escaping. Put the onions in the freezer for storage.

Every time you process, take the onions out and use them immediately without defrosting. Doing so, the onions will not be crushed.

You can also divide the onions into small bags or small boxes for convenient use.

This method can not only be used with green onions but can also be used with baro onions and some other herbs such as coriander, dill...
