An onion in a breadbox? Sure, it can happen to any busy parent hastily unpacking groceries. But what if I tell you it wasn't an accident? It turns out that storing this vegetable in a breadbox is a clever trick worth adopting.
Onion is genuinely a remarkable vegetable. Not only does it provide us with incredible nutritional benefits, protect against many diseases, and support proper body functioning, but it can also be helpful in many other ways. One might seem a bit controversial, but only until we realize that it makes more sense than it may seem. Onion in a breadbox is a patent of true culinary explorers!
Onion as a versatile food product
We all know the critical role that onions play in European cuisine. It's one of those food items that must always be in my kitchen. Yet, this vegetable's long list of potential uses does not end at just adding it to various dishes. As it turns out, onions can also help clean the grill.
Rubbing a grill rack with a halved onion will help dissolve leftover grilled food and melted fat. The onion's acidic pH also tackles rust. Adding powdered sugar is beneficial. Creating a mixture of chopped vegetables and sweet spice proves to be a powerful method that—applied to rusted metal and left there for a couple of hours—easily manages what seemed unbeatable.
Onion in a breadbox
Putting an onion in a breadbox is a bit more controversial use of the vegetable, but why is it worth doing? It's effortless. One of the many properties of today’s hero is its preservative action. That’s why an onion in a breadbox will prevent us from dealing with mould. Moreover, an onion — like an apple — will increase the humidity inside the breadbox, ensuring that bread stays fresh longer.
