Why leave half an onion in the fridge: you can't eat it anymore
It is believed that the half of an onion left over after cooking should not be put in the refrigerator.
By the time you remember about it and put it to use, it will have dried out and become covered in mold.
But even if the vegetable lies on the refrigerator shelf for a very short time, it will still lose all its vitamins and become saturated with the smells of other products.
Despite the fact that you won’t have to use such onions in food, the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, chef Yulia Arkhipova, still advises leaving them in the refrigerator.
The thing is that half an onion will help keep other products fresh, namely avocado.
To use this life hack, you need to place a few pieces of onion in a container where there is already half an avocado.
Make sure the container with the avocado and onion is tightly sealed.
As a result, the fruit will not change its green color to black.
A must: to prevent the avocado from turning dark, you must leave the pit in it.
The reason for such unexpected metamorphoses, or rather, their absence, lies in the volatile oils contained in onions.
They have quite powerful antioxidant activity.
In this form, the fruit can be easily stored for two to four days.
