The best place to store onions is in a cold store/ pantry or old fashioned root cellar. But of course, not everyone has these spaces.
A regular cellar, garage or shed can also work well. To make sure that your onions last as long as possible in storage, aim for consistent temperatures between 35 and 40 degrees F.
For best results, relative humidity should be kept between 55% and 65%.
The goal is to create a cool, dark environment, with a little ventilation but not too much.
In such an environment, rot is less likely to set in, and the onions will not lose too much weight through respiration.
A little ventilation is needed so that there is not an increase in CO2 levels, and to dissipate heat generated by the onions as they continue slowly to respire.
