Onions should be stored at room temperature,
away from heat and bright light. Except for green onions. Do
not refrigerate onions. Place onions in a wire hanging basket or a
perforated bowl with a raised base so that air can circulate underneath.
The storage time depends o the type of onion. Those that are
more pungent in flavor, such as yellow onions, should keep for about a
month if stored properly. They will keep longer than those with a
sweeter taste, such as white onions. Scallions should be stored in a
plastic bag in the refrigerator where they will keep for about one
week. All onions should be stored away from potatoes, as they will
absorb their moisture and ethylene gas, causing them to spoil.
