onions
Both yellow and red onions are good sources of B vitamins, vitamin C, and fiber. Raw onions add crunch to salads and sandwiches, while cooked onions can provide flavor in all kinds of dishes. To avoid crying while you chop an onion, cut from the top (away from its root).

Store onions in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, as onions absorb moisture. They should also be stored in a dark place as well since light can cause bitterness.

Make sure to store onions away from potatoes – potatoes give off moisture and gas that will make onions spoil faster.
