Store onions in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, such as a pantry or a mesh bag, to maintain freshness and prevent sprouting. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, as this can trap moisture and lead to spoilage. Keep onions away from potatoes, as the gases they emit can cause each other to spoil faster. Once cut, store onions in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use within 7-10 days.
