Nutrition experts point out that harvested onions can be stored for a long time and will not germinate or become moldy after drying. Improper storage will germinate and rot. Generally speaking, onions germinate most easily at 15 degrees Celsius. Onions can be stored in the refrigerator if the temperature is good. Onions that germinate or even grow green seedlings will not produce substances harmful to human body, but the nutrients in the scales will be transferred to the top of the onion after germination, which will lead to the decline of nutrients; And because the bud part contains most nutrients and a lot of plant hormones, it will taste spicy.
How to store onions?
1. Store a lot of onions, suitable for growers. Stop watering 5-7 days before harvesting, reduce the water content of onion to promote ripening, dry it in time after harvesting, and store it after fully drying.
2. A small amount of onions should be stored. Generally, when cooking at home, you should choose storage varieties with long dormancy period. For example, yellow skin varieties are more resistant to storage than red skin, so we should choose fresh, shiny and harmless products. If you can't finish eating, you should dry it for a period of time to ensure ventilation and dryness to avoid rot. It is best to put them in the sun before storage. If the temperature is just around 15 degrees, it needs to be refrigerated in the refrigerator.
It is worth noting that stored onions must be eaten with soft onions, and rotten food and vegetables should not be eaten. Remember! Is there any good preservation method to share?
