I conclude that onions, growing wild, were probably consumed for thousands of years by our prehistoric cousins prior to the advent of civilization. The Chinese were growing onions at least 5,000 years ago and the ancient Sumerians had onion patches 2,500 years ago. They were actually worshiped in Egypt where they symbolized eternity. Kings and queens were buried with onions because they were thought of as being magic.
The Israelites ate onions, in India they were used as medicine and the Greeks used them to strengthen their athletes. Indeed, before competitions the Greek jocks ate onions, drank onion juice and even rubbed onions on their bodies.
