History of the Onion |
||||||||||||||
|
Onions have been cultivated and
consumed since Egyptian times when this vegetable was even
included in tomb offerings. This vegetable most 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 come to have a particular
importance in the Northern European countries where it grows
well and could be stored over the winter. |

The Onion Plant |
||||||||||||||
|
The onion plants, Allium cepa,
are 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's leaves look more like a cluster of stalks than true leaves. They are long, hollow, cylindrical leaves that can stand a few feet high. These leaves are eatable and sold when young as green onions or scallions. |
