Why does your fridge smell like a gym sock after storing onions? Because cold air loves absorbing volatile sulfur compounds. That’s science for “onion stink.”
Cut onions are smelly factories. Putting them in the fridge turns your milk and eggs into onion-flavored nightmares. Yuck.
The solution? Double-bag or use an airtight container. Don’t just toss a cut onion naked on a shelf. That’s cruel to your strawberries.
A tip from grannies: rub your fridge shelves with a cut lemon. It neutralizes the onion smell. Or buy a box of baking soda. Your nose will thank you.
