How long do onions stay fresh in the refrigerator?

Answer 1

Cut onions will be OK for a couple days in the fridge. If you are going to use it in cooking, chop the remainder of the onion when you first cut it up. Put it into a container and freeze. Then, you can take out what you need as you need it.

Another answer

If kept in an airtight container 7 days.

Answer 2

Time to actual spoilage can vary depending upon the type of onion, whether or not they have been cut, the age of the onion, the handling, storage temperature, etc. Fresh green onions could last 5 days. Chopped onions will last a couple days.

Answer 3

That depends on various factors. Whole unpeeled onions will last longer than peeled or chopped because they have been handled less. I never store onions in a bag unless it has been peeled.

Always wash your hands before handling food even raw vegetables. This is because all hands have bacteria on them and keeping your veg dry and clean will extend the shelf life.

Remove your vegetables from the bags they came in, wipe with paper towel to get rid of excess moisture before storing I also place a couple of sheets of paper towel at the bottom of the crisper draws to help keep things dry.

I never refrigerate fresh bulbs of garlic I just store in a garlic jar (with air holes in) in my cupboard.

Answer 4

Unpeeled bagged onions do not need refrigerated. Store on a cool shelf, dark cupboard (which means any cupboard that stays cool). You can leave them in the mesh bag, but don't forget to use them or they will decay.

Answer 5

Well, if an onion has not been cut it will keep for several months in your pantry. If it has, put it in your fridge and it will keep for several weeks. No exact number, sorry for being vague!
