Adapting from Webmd.com, even though the texture and taste of stale food is slightly different, as long as there are no problems after eating it, then the food is fine to consume. However, if the food shows other signs of spoilage, such as mold, this means you should throw it away immediately.
Apart from using onions, there is another process for restoring stale food, namely heating it. Quoted from Webmd.com, stale food can be restored by heating it at 140 degrees for 30 seconds or several minutes.
