Buying pyaaz you cannot touch
How to pick it
Pick bulbs that feel heavy for their size with papery, unbroken skin and a tight neck. A soft shoulder means it has started to rot from the inside.
How to store it
Keep in a dark, dry, ventilated basket away from potatoes — potatoes give off moisture that sprouts onions. Never refrigerate whole onions.
When it is cheapest
Harvested Mar-May, stored year-round; prices spike Aug-Oct before the kharif crop lands.
What it is for
The base of almost every Indian gravy, plus sambhar onion for pickling and salad rings.
