Storage Tips: Store onions in a cool, dry, and dark place, like a pantry or a cupboard. Store cut onions in an airtight container in the fridge; they'll stay fresh for up to a week.
Preparation Tips: Onions can be sautéed, caramelized, grilled, or used raw in salads. Caramelizing brings out their natural sugars, adding depth to dishes.
