    The rest is unaffected, that’s why they are organized in rings to protect itself when this happens.

    So you just throw out a completely fine onion? πŸ‘‰πŸšͺ

    I understand you OP. There are plenty of other onions to enjoy.

    How do onions go bad from the inside out anyway?

    I don’t have contamination OCD but I have had mold poisoning and imo if possible to discard, I would always discard food with internal mold/fungus presence.

    Well, seems like onionlovers has decided you’re the worst person on earth! Not sure how you’re going to sleep tonight knowing that lmao

    LPT start composting so instead of throwing away you can put it in the compost and still get use out of this onion. Onions will never be truly wasted again. Then ideally use that onion filled compost to grow more onions.

    I’d totally use the rings between the center and the outer 2-3….. don’t tell my hub….. he scares easily.

    Why? The middle’s a bit funny, just throw that part away.

    Do you throw away perfectly good vegetables just because they’re not completely perfect? They grow in the ground, not manufactured in a Samsung factory πŸ˜…

    If you’re concerned about your health, don’t be, this is harmless, just don’t eat the weird bit πŸ™‚

  10. I am seeing ppl say just pop it out.

    I don’t have OCD, but seeing this would put me off my feed for sure. I’d have thrown it out as well.

    Course, I have a jar of emergency pickled onion in my fridge.

    This onion is perfectly fine. If you can’t eat that then you’re not an onion lover πŸ™Ž

    On a serious note, I have seen that post covid, many if not most white onions seem to have this kind of rot.

    I have switched to red onions for this reason

    This happened to me tonight. Mine was way worse and was not salvageable.
