I'm sure it is.

For me, I grow them from long ago grocery buys thant they come up again
for years. I leave the bulb in the round and snip off the tops for use
in dishes.

As for regular onions, I'll chop a whole one and use what I need then
store the rest in airtight containers. Next time (usually next day but
may take up to 3 days), I'ts already chopped and ready.
