Let's Talk Onions!

No one really knows where exactly onions originate from but it is believed to be southern Asia. Onions, which are high in vitamin C, are one of the most ancient and versatile foods on the planet going back to 5000 years or perhaps even much more than that. They're mentioned on ancient Babylonian tablets! Onions are on many Egyptian pyramid paintings too and were even discovered in a basket amongst the ruins in Pompeii. Suffice it to say that since ancient times onions, which belong to the vegetable family, have been not only eaten but used for medicinal purposes as well.
