Frozen Onions

If your onions often sprout, go soft, turn dark, get moldy or taste funny, your storage method may not be ideal.

Onions can store well, but they’re picky. They prefer being stored at 4-10°C /40-50° F, that’s warmer than your fridge but cooler than room temperature. If you store onions too hot, too cold or too humid, they may sprout, go moldy or go soft. Oh and they don’t like being stored next to potatoes – the natural gases released by potatoes will make onions sprout faster, and vice versa. So you see, finding the right spot can be tricky.

That’s why freezing or dehydrating are good options. Of course delicious recipes like French Onion Soup, caramelized onions on Focaccia or sautéed onions and mushrooms are good too!

It’s A C

onvenient Time SaverIf you cook regularly, you know that 90% of recipes include chopped, diced or sliced onions. Can you imagine how convenient having pre-sliced onions or diced onions can be! It’s truly a time saver.

It was a game changer for me. Instead of chopping and slicing an onion every night, I simply go to the freezer and pull out what I need. No daily chopping required. No onion odor on fingers. No cleaning the cutting board.

Consider freezing onions if…
– you don’t have a proper storage place for them
– you hate having to chop fresh onions every time you make dinner
– you enjoy the convenience of pre-cut food and the satisfaction and low price of doing it yourself
