Hi Writersblock - I grow a lot of onions and I use a lot of onions, I start using them as a green onions and later one as bulbs. It seems to me that I use them as fast as I can, when I have a lot of extras I air dry them in bins on the porch, when dry bring them in and use them quick, otherwise if still left with a lot of onions I chop them and freeze them in individual serving bags to use later in recipes.

When is colder outside, I use my garage to store like the bananas that I harvested few weeks ago, they kept better there because it was colder than the house. I did the same thing, use them as green, when stared to get yellow I used them in recipes and the rest dried them and put them in the freezer.

Thanks, Silivia. Just out of curiosity, what kind of recipes call for dried banana?

Writersblock, my dried bananas are not like those sweet, crunchy ones at the market. I slice them and put them in the dehydrator till dry but still soft and pliable, nothing else added. Put them in the freezer and for me are just like that the best snacks ever, better than fresh, especially in the warm weather when they are nice and cold but still soft and they keep for a long time if I don't eat them all.:)

I just read somewhere that if you wrap them individually in foil, they can last for almost a year in the refrigerator. I have a second fridge to store surplus, so I may try that our for this year's onion crops (which looks like it will be a good one).

Thanks, Sheila. My friend does have an extra fridge/freezer in her garage so I'll be sure to pass that along.

Thanks for the banana info, Silvia. I know a lot of way to use frozen regular bananas, but they don't last all that long in the freezer undried.
