Onions are one of the most popular vegetables in the world. Many main dishes are prepared with its addition. Soups are made from it and even caramelized. That's why housewives want to have onions at home at all times.

But to do this, you need to know how to store it properly. Express explains how to do this to keep onions fresh for weeks.

Chuck Sillari, chef and founder of Mortadella Head, said that he stores onions in the pantry, but they can also be stored in any dark, cool place. The chef prefers an open storage basket because it allows for good air circulation, and that's how you achieve maximum shelf life.

Heat and light can also trigger onion sprouting, causing the onions to turn green and taste bitter. Do not store whole onions in the refrigerator as it is too cold and damp to keep them fresh. Instead, store them at room temperature in a cupboard or drawer if you don't have a pantry. This way it will keep fresh for weeks.
