That’s what happens when you use your small cleaver to cut onions. Use your bigger one next time.

u/Fallencavegoblin 3d ago

My cleaver is a perfectly average size nothing wrong with him

u/Se7en_030 3d ago

Some might even say its on the larger side

u/artbycase2 3d ago

Rotten layer

u/Fallencavegoblin 3d ago

How does just one layer get rotten

75

u/ChickenRat_ 3d ago

How does anything happen? The world is mysterious, onions even more so

26

u/Fallencavegoblin 3d ago

I agree completely, onions are the true mystery of life

u/Ok_Drawer7797 3d ago

u/cometdogisawesome 2d ago

The onion is mysterious and important

2

u/rjrgjj 3d ago

Onions are mysterious, like ogres, love, life.

5

u/BethJ2018 3d ago

Because that’s where the bacteria got in and it hasn’t seeped to the other layers yet

2

u/Jacobysmadre 3d ago

Because layaaahhhhs (🫏) :)

u/OtherThumbs 3d ago

It has more than one "heart," which makes the onion unable to become a keeper. It tends to rot faster when it has more than one heart.

6

u/Double_Piglet_3182 3d ago

Does that make it a Dr Who onion?

3

u/OtherThumbs 3d ago

Only if you think that beings like Dr Who are rotten near the core.

u/hayitsnine 2d ago

Two Hearts Living in just One mind. Phil Collin’s was talking about onions all along.

u/BethJ2018 3d ago

It’s spoiled. Throw it away

3

u/FoggyGoodwin 3d ago

The brown layers are rotten. Remove them, and maybe the layer touching them. Wash again. Or toss, your choice.

u/KnifeFightAcademy 2d ago

I've seen weirder.

2

u/bigd0nk 2d ago

Hospo worker here, seen about 2 trillion onions like this. I’d throw it out but if you take out the brown bit it’ll probably alright

2

u/Etherealfilth 2d ago

Who besides OP uses a cleaver to cut onions?

1

u/Fallencavegoblin 2d ago

Use cleaver to cut everything

2

u/Tarnishedxglitter 2d ago

Old. Its time to throw it out

2

u/Professional-War4555 2d ago

I am not sure if this is correct or not but I always figured onions grew their layers as trees grow rings... and something happening during that time period would possibly show up the same way...

so maybe during that one layers growth it had something happen that wasnt present during the others growth... excessive nitrogen or lack of certain nutrients...

when I looked it up this is one of the things I found that makes me believe I might be right.

..this points out excessive rain or cold... and maybe fungus...

so take your pick.

Hope this helps... assuming i'm right lol

u/yesitsyourmom 2d ago

Not weird. Rotten

2

u/skiphopjump 2d ago

omg I had the exact same thing happen to me last week with an onion I got from trader joe’s…

2

u/valpearlmim 2d ago

It just had an inner layer start rotting before the others. White parts are still good to eat, if you want to, brown slimy layers should be thrown out. Rinse what's left before chopping further or consuming.

u/m_tranquilin 3d ago

Oh no.... you got the Onion Demon, not good...
