Description

• Always handle onions with care. Do not drop onions as this often causes bruising and internal decay.
• Bagged or boxed onions should be stored at least one foot away from walls and other pallets to allow proper air movement.
• Keep stacks of bags or boxes at five feet or less.
• Store onions in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area.
• Maintain storage temperature of ****5°F.
• Do not wrap onions in plastic or store in plastic bags. A lack of air circulation will reduce shelf life.
• Onions should feel firm and dry, be free of gray or black mold, and should not have any visible sprouting. Some loose skins are normal.
• Do not store onions with potatoes or other produce items that release moisture.
• Keep onions out of direct sunlight and other heat sources.
• Cut onions will keep for several days if sealed in plastic bags or containers and refrigerated.
