SHEDWARS21: CURE ONIONS After Harvesting Preserving onions to avoid Post Harvest Losses
Drying onions After Harvesting
After Harvesting onions, you need to cure the bulbs for at least 4 weeks. During this period, the onions will loose their wet weight and they can keep good for 6 months to 1 year.
You can dry onions by
Braiding/ knitting the leaves and hanging them
Spreading onions on a flat surface to dry them
Most important is to provide suitable temperatures and humidity level as I discuss in the video.
Watch the first video on growing onions series to get tips on how and when to harvest your onions.
As you dry the onions, the loose thin dry skin will fall off. Use it for pest control. Watch ny play list to get tips on how to use the dry skin of onions.
Any onions that have gone bad should be separated from healthy dry onion bulbs.
