History of the Onion |
||||||||||||||
|
Onions have been cultivated and consumed
since Egyptian times when this vegetable was even included
in tomb offerings. This vegetable mostly likely originated
in the Middle East and since then, the onion has been widely
used around the world, including in Europe, China, India, Russia,
Turkey, and of course the United States (Supposable, Christopher
Columbus brought this popular vegetable to the New World on
his second voyage here).
Onions came to have particular
importance in the Northern European countries where it grows
well and could be stored over the winter. |

The Onion Plant |
||||||||||||||
|
The onion plant, Allium cepa,
is a member of the Alliaceae, or onion family. Until
recently, onion where classified as members of the lily
family along with many flowering plants and asparagus. Now,
onions along with garlic, leeks, shallots, and chives have
their own family, Alliaceae. Onions
are actually the underground bulbs of the onion plant; they
are composed of thin layers of flesh.
The onion bulbs are used by the plants to store energy over the first season for use in the second season to produce flowers and then seed. This kind of growing cycle makes onions biennials, or plants that grow for two seasons and then die. The onion plant produces leaves that look more like a cluster of stalks than leaves. They are long, hollow, cylindrical leaves that can stand a few feet high. These leaves are eatable, but rarely ever consumed. |
