Onions typically need about 1 inch of water per week, either from rainfall or supplemental irrigation. Consistent moisture is crucial, especially during their growing season, to promote healthy bulb formation. However, it’s important to avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to rot and disease. Adjust watering based on soil conditions and weather to ensure optimal growth.

When you put an onion in salt water, the salt creates a hypertonic environment, causing water to move out of the onion cells through osmosis. This process results in the onion becoming limp and releasing some of its natural juices into the water. Additionally, the salt can enhance the flavor of the onion while also drawing out some of its moisture. Over time, this can lead to a brined effect, making the onion more flavorful.
