storing onions

Question

Is light a factor in drying the onions for a few weeks. That is—is having them on a shady porch okay, or should it be a darker place?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Light is not a factor and a shady porch is fine. A through flow of air is useful too. I used to store mine in discarded tights, hung in the garage. Just try to make sure that the onions do not touch each other.
