FUN FACTS
1. First organized cultivation of onions started in Asia some 5,500 years ago. They quickly spread around the world, and became popular for their medicinal value and ease of storing in the winter.
2. Onions are very healthy to eat. They are filled with complex sugars that keep our metabolism healthy, vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, beta carotene, folate (one of the B vitamins), and they have no fat.
3. Onions are some of the oldest vegetables that were used by the first modern civilizations. They were grown in ancient Egypt, where their spherical internal structure was believed to be a symbol of eternal life.
4. One average sized onion has 30 calories.
5. For more than 2000 years, ancient texts from Egypt, Greece and India talk about powerful abilities of onion as sexual aphrodisiac. For example Egyptians believed onions effected their libido. In medieval Europe, onion was traditionally consumed by newlyweds.
6. Onion is strong antiseptic (during several famous wars, onions were used in extreme quantities to disinfect soldier wounds), and can also be used to increase blood circulation by applying it to the skin.
7. Onions come in many shapes and colors. Most popular ones are yellow onions, white onions, brown onions, red onions and pickling onions.
8. You can get rid of onion breath by eating fresh parsley.

Beautifully done! It reminds me of my childhood, when I used to put an onion in a jam jar full of water and watch, fascinated, how the roots and shoots appeared! I think my parents were only interested in eating it!
