I’m buying potatoes and the fuckers are sprouting a week later. How are my fucking onions rotten after two weeks?
The reason these veggies exist is because we could keep them the whole fucking winter
You could keep some varieties of potatos and onions (ask the potato and the onion sellers at the farmers market, which ones they recommend for that) the whole winter. Stored in a root cellar/earth cellar (not in the kitchen).
We live in different times! Nobody tells you to buy more fresh produce than you need for the next couple of days.
Nope, the problem is how the supermarket and all the middle mans store them in the meantime.
For example I still have onions and potatoes from my vegetable garden, which were grown up from commonly available potatoes and onions from the supermarkets, without basically any problems. Same for some other vegetable (jerusalem artichoke, pumpkins and the like)
People did keep them during winter, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t sprout. ;)
Store them somewhere cold and dark. Makes them behave for a good bit longer.
