How to Store Unused Onion
著者: 石川 優花
You spot a soft spot or a little fuzz. Don’t panic—think salvage, not surrender. If the onion is mostly firm with a small squishy area, cut it away generously, checking that the rest smells like an onion, not a basement. If it’s fully mushy or leaking, toss it immediately.
A sprouted onion isn’t a tragedy; it’s just getting old. The sprout itself is edible but bitter. Remove it and use the still-firm onion for cooking. Actually, older onions are perfect for soups and stews because their concentrated flavor adds depth.
One more fact for the road: The sulfur compounds that make you cry are also what keep pests away. That’s why you never see bugs in a well-stored onion bin. Nature’s jerk move is also its little defense system.
