Default What happened to peeled onions?

All this talk of onions got me thinking. Used to be at least in this area,
you could buy white or red peeled onions at all of the grocery stores. I
think they were priced individually and cost a lot more than the regular
ones. They were sold refrigerated. My dad used to boast about buying them
that way because they were cleaner. And I guess that worked for him because
he didn't buy too many onions. I would buy them myself once in a great
while if I needed one right away and was in a hurry to use it. But since I
normally go through a lot of onions, I would usually just buy the room
temp.ones with the skins on. Anyway... I have not seen any peeled onions
like this for a long time! I have occasionally seen onions that are sold
sliced or cut up. They are sold in tubs. I did buy those once, I think. I
think I bought those and a sliced tomato. I only bought them because we
were moving and it is custom to provide a meal for the movers when you move
out of military housing. Most people order pizza. I was quite sick of
pizza so just got an assortment of meats and cheeses, breads, condiments,
etc. and let everyone make their own sandwich.

Oh and a side note. The cloth onion bag that I bought was a waste of money.
It did not keep them fresh. One onion spoiled in there. I caught it before
it was too bad, but it leeched some green mildew onto the bag. I couldn't
get the stain out so just tossed it.

I've never seen a whole peeled onion (but I'm not looking for them
either) - I doubt they would sell. I do, however, see diced onions in
the refrigerated section.

I bought some net bags for the first time a few weeks ago (months by
this time) and have no problem with them what-so-ever. I like them
because I can keep "likes" together, can grab them like I'd grab a
plastic bag to get everything at once and I've had no problem with
spoilage from onions to grapes.

I'm not sure what sf was talking about but I normally buy my onions in 3lb
net bags. Stored underneath the counter, the onions last for weeks.

"Needed one right away? In a hurry to use it?" How long does it take you to peel an onion? You can be most annoying.

In the time you waste on inane posts, you could peel a peck of onions. What I'm getting at is.....sincerely, you need to manage your time better.

I use ladies tight for storage, cheaper that buying bags, ladies discard
them frequently, of course they can store onions, shallots and garlic,
probably other veg but that is all I've used them for.

I've been known to offer to take used ones in trade for brand new ones, no extra charge, and have been turned down. What's that about?

What an idiotic concept - peeled onions. Why not buy all your food
from macdonalds and be done with it.

Stores here used to do the same thing, try not to be so critical.

I hang mine in the broom closet with a coat hanger. They last a long time

Me too, except I store mine in a special piece of furniture that my
husband built. It is free standing, about 50cm wide and as tall as my
benchtops. Three separate compartments. The top one has a flip up lid
and I keep bread in there. The middle compartment is for potatoes and
the bottom one for onions. Both of these have hinged doors that open
downwards. My onions would last for weeks, except they get used within
a week!

I would imagine the outer layer (after peeling) would also dry up
somewhat, meaning I would then peel another layer off anyway.

Snopes.com may prove me wrong but what a stupid idea buying prepeeled
onions or Garlic. Why risk getting sick. They are most likely bathed
in chlorine (or maybe even radiation) to make them safe to store for
weeks in a shop stand. The chlorine may in fact react with those onions
and create undesired byproducts. Nothing like some pathogens or toxins
to add to your recipes. And anytime precut or prepeel veggies like
onions you allow nutrients to seep out.

Any half assed cook can quickly cut fresh garlic or Onions and really
should avoid buying risky precut and prewashed stuff.

I understand time constraints of middle income suburbanites. The average
commute time where I live is 89 minutes a day. I spend 120 minutes a
day commuting and can still find 20 seconds to peel and chop/dice an
onion when i get home after being away for 12 hours

I do not blame the elderly or disabled from buying precut ingredients,
if it means they get better nutrition than food from some frozen box,
but the majority of able bodied cooks should really avoid buying stupid
stuff like pre peeled onions.

I used to store mine in a drawer with potatoes but then somebody who i
think is smarter than me told me that potatoes draw out the onion water.

My father used to use my mother's old pantyhose to store onions.
Perfect netting.

I buy them that way to sometimes but I have to store them in the fridge. I
used to use an onion bin but they kept going moldy and I'd get fruit flies.

Wah! I don't have a broom closet much less a pantry. I have to put the
mops and brooms in the laundry room where they perpetually fall over and
trip me.

Peeling onions can be annoying. Because then you have to dispose of the
peels. When you do that here, that involves the use of a purchased biobag
and a trip outside to dispose of it.

No. They were actually quite fresh. All you had to do was rinse them.

Not idiotic at all. People buy baby carrots, carrot sticks, cut celery,

I can't speak for garlic but I'm pretty sure that those onions weren't
bathed in anything. I only ever saw the white or red ones. Never the
yellow.

The weird thing to me about onions is that I never tear up when chopping
them anymore. My eyes naturally tear for no reason, but onions don't do
it these days. I'm not sure if it's the onions or the way I chop them
now. I can't even remember the last time they made my eyes tear.

Me neither but I put it down to my implants (for cataracts) maybe or even
the fact that I wear specs.

Now that you mention it, onions haven't made me tear in forever either. I
blame it on the slow global warming and changing of the structure of the
onion(tm).

That said, the occasional tearing never bothered me when it did happen. I
used to love the "remedies" in the "how to cut an onion without tears"
threads. My all time favorite funny solution was to cut them underwater in
a large bowl of water. LOL!
Oh...and the "light a candle" next to it solution. heheh

I don't have a pantry either, wish I did, but I have a small closet right
off the kitchen which I call a broom closet. It has a horizontal pole like a
clothes closet does, but who would hang clothes there? Anyhoo...it's good
for storing stuff.

You know you can just put it in the garbage can. You seem to like to make things so much more difficult than they need to be!

I get the impression that where Julie lives there are garbage police,
going through people's trash looking for organic materials and issuing
hefty fines whenever a banana peel or eggshell is found.

Not an idiotic concept, I'm sure it's profitable for the producers, but
a concept for idiots who are too lazy to peel a vegetable themselves.
Don't forget they also sell peeled hard boiled eggs as well.

Not sure how that would help unless I could get some kind of mammoth tall
bin.
