Today in my office, my coworker Liz said, “Did you know that you can store an apple with your potatoes and they won’t sprout?” I did know this, as my mother I believe (or my sister, or someone I know…) told me this. However, she went on to explain that you are also not supposed to store potatoes or onions together. Or else.
I’ve already separated the happy family, don’t worry. Where will I ever keep the onions now?
What will happen?!
Onions have a chemical that causes potatoes to go bad!!
Ehh I had an epic-ly awful potato-onion experience as well!! The smell was atrocious!
