It took an out-of-this-world arrival to get that perfect chemical combination for water to fill our planet. Water may have come to earth by way of comets and asteroids. Morning dew and roaring falls inspire poets. Hurricanes and typhoons wreak devastation.
It's also necessary to store and handle the cut onions properly to further reduce the risk of bacterial contamination. Cutting Onions Ahead of Time Cutting onions the day before you need them is safe when you take the proper precautions.
After harvesting, dry or cure the onions in a warm, dry, well-ventilated location, such as a shed or garage. Spread out the onions in a single layer on a clean, dry surface. Cure the onions for two to three weeks until the onion tops and necks are thoroughly dry and the outer bulb scales begin to rustle. After the onions are properly cured, cut off the tops about 1 inch above the bulbs. As the onions are topped, discard any that show signs of decay.
