Packaging onions is not strictly necessary. During the onion process, there are many weeks of drying - both mechanically chilled and naturally. This is what gives the crop it’s ‘crunchy’, paper-like skin. This process, and subsequent skin protects the bulb while retaining it’s moist, chemical interior. Packaging is simply afforded to the crop as a means of easy transportation, and as an indication that the crop is hygienic and not covered in parasites and bacteria that one usually associates with stuff pulled from the ground.
