BASIC STORAGE & HANDLING TIPS FOR DRY BULB ONIONS:
- Always handle onions with care. Do not drop onions as this often causes bruising and internal decay.
- Bagged or boxed onions should be stored at least 30cm away from walls and other pallets to allow proper air movement.
- Store onions in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area.
- Maintain storage temperature of 7 – 13°C.
- Do not wrap onions in plastic or store in plastic bags. A lack of air circulation will reduce shelf life.
- Onions should feel firm and dry, be free of grey or black mould, and should not have any visible sprouting. Some loose skins are normal.
- Do not store onions with potatoes or other produce items that release moisture.
- Keep onions out of direct sunlight and other heat sources.
