Check out these tips to lower cholesterol with lifestyle changes: 1  Reduce all fats in your diet. Pay particular attention to saturated fats.  Try to exercise 30 minutes a day. Go for a walk around the block after lunch or dinner, spend time in the garden, or ride bikes with the kids.
Dry the onion skins. After the onions are harvested, spread them out in a ventilated area so that the skins can harden. Do not remove the leaves. Allow the onions to cure for two to four weeks. Dry the onions in an area away from sunlight and humidity. Sunlight can taint the taste of the onions and make them bitter.
3 Curing. Once the roots have dried out for a couple days the onions will need to move to a shady spot with good ventilation for two to three weeks to finish curing. At this time I usually trim the roots and stems since they are not necessary for curing and it makes them easy to move to storage later.
