The Qdaoyu Hanging Jute Onion Basket is designed to promote airflow, which is essential for maintaining the freshness of dry-skin produce like onions and garlic. The basket features a triple-strand jute weave that provides high resistance to vertical tension. While the materials are robust enough to handle produce weighing up to 10 lbs, the included beechwood hook serves as the primary support point and should be mounted securely to a flat, stable surface.
The natural fibers used in this basket are biodegradable and offer a breathable environment that helps prevent the moisture buildup associated with vegetable spoilage. It is important to note that jute is a natural material that may shed micro-fibers initially and should not be submerged in water, as this can compromise its structural integrity. This unit is most effective when used for dry tubers rather than damp or "wet" produce, which could lead to fiber degradation over time.
To ensure the longevity of the mounting hardware, avoid "dropping" heavy items into the basket; instead, place them in gently to manage the dynamic load on the wooden hook.
For those who require a more rigid multi-tier system for a larger variety of fruits, the 3-tier hanging fruit basket offers a metal-frame alternative.
