However, culinary experts say that onions and garlic can rot if simply placed in a kitchen drawer. Instead, perforated paper bags allow for air circulation and keep the vegetables fresh for a long Time.

To properly store onions and garlic, you will need a brown paper bag, a hole punch, a marker, and clips. Before placing onions or garlic in the bag, make sure they are firm and fresh.

First, fold the bag in half lengthwise and punch one edge. Then, turn the folded bag over and punch the other edge - about 3 cm apart. After this, fill the bag halfway with onions or garlic. Label it with a marker and use paper clips on the top to secure it in place.

With this storage method, onions and garlic can stay fresh for up to six months.
