About onion

THE HISTORY OF THE ONION

The onion is one of the oldest cultivated vegetables in our history, originating in Central Asia, from where it spread worldwide. Onion cultivation dates back to 3 500 years BC when ancient civilizations soon became dependent on the cultivation of this particular vegetable. Onions were easy to grow in all types of soil and weather conditions and easy to store, dry, and store for the winter.

BENEFITS OF EATING ONIONS

Given that onions are often a staple and taken for granted, we should not ignore the fact that they are an excellent source of fiber, vitamin C, and other minerals that contribute to a healthy diet. The most exciting thing about onions is the tearing that occurs when cutting this tasty vegetable. This releases several chemical substances, including ozone sulfide, which is released when the onion pulp is damaged. These substances help the plant’s natural defenses against potential pests and diseases.
