About
The KitchenCraft Natural Elements Onion Bag is a rustic hessian (jute) sack from the brand's eco-conscious range, designed to store onions and keep them fresher for longer. The outer layer is marked "Onions" and is lined with a breathable blackout material that blocks light while still letting the onions get airflow. It has an easy-access drawstring top and measures roughly 20cm square, holding a generous quantity, and can sit on a shelf or hang from a hook to save space.
How It Works
Onions store best in a cool, dark, well-ventilated spot, because exposure to light and trapped moisture encourage sprouting, softening, and mold. This bag combines a woven jute exterior with an inner blackout liner: the liner keeps light out to slow sprouting, while the breathable natural fibers allow air to circulate around the onions instead of sealing in humidity the way a plastic bag would.
In practice you loosen the drawstring, add loose onions, and store the sack somewhere cool and dry, either standing on a pantry shelf or hung on a hook. Keeping the onions dark and ventilated helps preserve firmness and extend their usable life compared with leaving them out in the open or bagged in plastic.
Key Features
- Store the bag somewhere cool, dry, and dark for best results; avoid the fridge, where onions turn soft.
- Keep onions away from potatoes, as they release gases and moisture that speed each other's spoilage.
- Do not wash onions before storing; moisture promotes mold and sprouting.
- Hang the sack on a hook to improve airflow and save counter space.
- Roughly 20cm (8") square, so best suited to household-sized quantities rather than bulk storage.
- Natural, reusable, and plastic-free, part of the Natural Elements sustainable range.
