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.
Another way to harvest is to start the curing process by partially removing the onions from the ground, leaving part of the bulb exposed. The onions will begin to dry out and cure while still in place. You should cure your onions at least two weeks and in some cases it is recommendable to cure them a full month.
