Wow! So much great information here!! Thank you for the solid post. I grew up on an onion farm and have eaten them my whole life ... just never knew all of this about them :) I've submitted your post to c-squared; hopefully they stop by to show their appreciation as well.

I found your post because @porters featured you in his Pay it Forward Curation Contest entry! Feel free to join us any week with an entry of your own :)
