Here’s a fun rule: onions and potatoes are not friends. Potatoes release moisture and gas that make onions spoil faster, and onions can make potatoes sprout. So keep them apart, even on the counter. It’s like separating that one friend who hogs the blanket at a sleepover.
In the fridge, the same drama applies: don’t store onions next to apples or pears. Fruits emit ethylene gas, which can make onions turn bitter and soft. Give them their own little zone—like a VIP section in your crisper drawer.
