How to Store Onions for Winter

Method 1: Storing Onions in Pantyhose

1. Take clean, dry onions and an old pair of pantyhose or stockings.
2. Place one onion inside, then tie a knot above it.
3. Add another onion, tie another knot, and repeat.
4. Hang the pantyhose in a cool, dry place (like a pantry or cellar).

✔ Why It Works – The air circulates between onions, preventing rot and keeping them fresh for months!

Method 2: Drying and Freezing Onions

1. Chop or slice onions into small pieces.
2. Spread them out on a baking tray and freeze for 1 hour.
3. Transfer to ziplock bags or airtight containers and keep in the freezer.

✔ Why It Works – You’ll have pre-chopped onions ready to use anytime—no tears, no hassle!

Method 3: Storing in a Box with Newspaper

1. Place a layer of onions in a cardboard box.
2. Cover with newspaper or paper towels.
3. Repeat layers until the box is full. Store in a dark, cool place.

✔ Why It Works – The newspaper absorbs moisture and prevents mold!
