Storing a cut onion is not rocket science. It’s a tiny, two-minute habit that makes your fridge smell better, your food taste fresher, and your wallet happier. Next time you’re staring at that lonely half-onion, just pat it, wrap it with a paper towel, and pop it in the crisper.
Think of it as giving your onion a little nap. A well-rested onion is a happy onion, and a happy onion makes your chili, your salsa, and your omelets sing. Now go forth and store with confidence—your fridge (and future self) will thank you.
