Storage
Onions and shallots should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. They can be hung in mesh bags or stored in baskets. Avoid storing them near potatoes, as they can cause each other to spoil.
Prep Tip
Keep your onion root ends on the vegetable when dicing for an easy handhold.
Seasonality
Onions and shallots are available year-round, as they are staple vegetables with a long storage life. However, they are often harvested in the late summer and fall.
