Storage and Handling Tips

To preserve sweet onions and to prevent bruising, keep them cool, dry and separated from each other. Here are few ways:

1. Always handle sweet onions carefully. Because they have a higher sugar and water content, they bruise easily.
2. Wrap sweet onions separately in paper towels or newspaper and store in the refrigerator.
3. Store sweet onions in the legs of clean, sheer pantyhose by tying a knot between each onion and hanging the hose in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Cut above the knot to use an onion.
4. Place sweet onions on elevated racks or screens in a cool place…make sure they’re not touching.
5. Chop sweet onions and dry them in the oven at the lowest setting. Remove when thoroughly dry but not brown. Store at room temperature in airtight containers.
6. To freeze sweet onions chop and place on a cookie sheet in the freezer. Once frozen, place the chopped onions in freezer containers or bags.
7. To freeze whole sweet onions, peel, wash and core them, then place them in a freezer bag. Since freezing changes the onion’s texture, frozen Vidalias should only be used for cooking.
