Onion CURING Tips

Are you growing onions this year? Cure onions before storing them for longer storage life. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣• Choose a shady, protected location that is around 75-80°F.⁣⁣
⁣⁣• Provide a slight breeze with a fan if possible if it is indoors. (I cure mine on a wire rack in my laundry room).⁣⁣
⁣⁣• Lay the onions out in a single layer ⁣⁣
• Allow the onion stems to wither.⁣⁣
⁣⁣• The papery skins will tighten around the onion.⁣⁣
⁣⁣• When the necks are moisture free and completely tight and dry the stem should slip off easily.⁣⁣
⁣⁣• Store cured onions in a dry, cool place.⁣⁣
⁣⁣Store sweet onions for up to 3 months. Other types of onions store longer, depending on storage conditions. Check stored onions occasionally for soft spots or decay. Remove affected onions.⁣⁣
