Shop: Where to Buy Local Onions
Onions are available in Cincinnati, OH throughout the year. A root vegetable, onions grows well in our temperate climate. Root vegetables preserve well in cool storage and don't require refrigeration until they are cut. You can get local onions at the Montgomery Farmers Market, located at the Montgomery Elementary
Parking Lot, Saturdays 9am - 12:30pm (May - October).
Store: How To Store Onions
Dry onions (red, white, and yellow) are a versatile vegetable without which, many dishes would lose their flavor! Despite their versatility, how you store onions changes depending on whether the onion is whole or sliced:
Whole onions: Store onions in a cool, dry, dark place to prevent sprouting and decay. Be careful not to bruise them[1]. You might also be surprised to learn that onions and potatoes, while tasty when cooked together, should not be stored near each other! Onions produce ethylene gas, which speeds up the ripening process and can cause nearby potatoes to spoil more quickly.
Halved, sliced, or chopped onions: A cut onion can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for about a week[2].
