How people cook with it
Onions are a foundational ingredient in countless cuisines. They add depth and aroma to both simple and complex dishes.
- Sautéed as a base for sauces
- Caramelized for sweet flavor
- Added to soups and stews
- Sliced raw for salads
To prepare, trim off the ends and peel away the papery outer skin. You can then slice, dice, or chop the onion according to your recipe's needs. For sautéing, heat a bit of oil or butter in a pan over medium heat and cook until softened and translucent. For caramelizing, cook over lower heat for a longer period until deeply browned and sweet. Onions can also be roasted whole or in wedges, adding a rich flavor to roasted vegetables or meats.

How to keep the rest
Store the remaining onions in a cool, dry, and dark place. Ensure good air circulation by keeping them in a mesh bag or an open container. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, as this can trap moisture and lead to spoilage. They should not be stored near potatoes, as they can cause each other to sprout faster.
