Long before farming or writing was invented, onions were a staple. Onions were even worshipped by ancient Eqyptians, frequently found in body cavities of mummies. Written documents from early centuries of AD describe how important onions were not just used in food, but used in art, medicine, mummification. Ancient Greece even believed onions gave them the strength of Gods. Chopping onions can be unenjoyable due to sulfur compounds, however, when these sulfur compounds and other nutrients are inside your body, they can give protection from heart disease and cancer. Proper selection and storage 🧅 1. When selecting a good onion, look for one that is firm with even-coloured, paper-dry skin. 2. Onions should be stored in a dark and dry place that is well-ventilated. 3. Avoid storing onions in the refrigerator, unless they have been cut. 4. Do not store onions in places with exposure to moisture, specifically near potatoes, because onions can rot quicker when they absorb the potatoes' moisture and gas. "Why do onions make you cry?" 😭😭 Because of the chemical compound in onions, called syn-propanethial-s-oxide, which is released to the air after cutting onions. This stimulates the lachrymal gland so they release tears. To reduce tearing when cutting an onion, 1. Chill the onions for 30 minutes. 2. Cut off the top and peel the outer layers leaving the root end intact. 3. Slice them close to an open flame from a gas stove or a candle 4. Chopping the onion underwater, well that's impractical or you can always try wearing goggles.🦸‍♂️ It's the root end that has the highest concentration of the sulphuric compounds that cause your eyes to tear. 🚜Onions are easy to grow on any kind of soil, any type of weather ecosystem, and were easy to store, dry, and preserve during winters. So don't throw away those roots you cut off, compost it or make an onion garden. If you still have problems with tearing, consider hiring someone to chop the onions🤷 #theonion #onionstories #onionstorage #oniontears #onionlayers #onionchopping #onionfamily #ancientvegetables #onionhistory #onionlover #onionbreath #wildonion #healthylivingblog #cookingtogether #cookingtipsandtricks https://www.instagram.com/p/CDOBytSpDlX/?igshid=1wbkbhrt7gd6u

Have you heard the expression 'leeks are the poor man's allium'? I read it years ago and it stuck with me. They are absolutely charming in the garden...beauty at a low price point! Have you grown them? To eat or for garden beauty? 👩‍🌾👩‍🍳 video by @keri.okc #leeks #lindsvater #alliums #onionfamily #whiteflowers #kitchengarden #ediblelandscape #growyourown #potager #kitchengarden #gardentips #thriftygardening (at Crown Hts. - Edgemere Hts., Oklahoma City, Oklahoma)
