ONIONS...SWEET ONIONS...
Vidalias have a higher water and sugar content than other 
storage onions, making them susceptible to bruising, and 
need to be handled with care. Since they're only available 
only a portion of the year, sweet onion lovers buy them 
in quantity (50 pounds or more), and store them for 
extended enjoyment.
The key to preserving Vidalias, and to prevent bruising, 
is to keep them cool, dry and separated. Here are 2 
popular storage methods:
In the refrigerator, wrapped separately in foil. This 
method is expensive and takes up precious refrigerator 
space, but can preserve Vidalia Onions for as long as a year.
In the legs of clean, sheer pantyhose. Tie a knot between 
each Vidalia and cut above the knot when you want one. 
Hang in a cool, dry, well ventilated area.
ENJOYING THE WHOLE ONION: To bake a Vidalia Onion, peel, then 
cut off the top and bottom to make it sit flat. Place a 
pat of butter on top, and microwave for 7 minutes on high, 
or wrap securely in foil and bake at 350 degrees F for 45 
minutes or until tender
