tiny onions is tedious, so I tried using the leaves and bulbs. Thing
is, the leave bearing the babies is as woody as bamboo, making it
more suited to fishing poles than an ingredient in dinner.
I have, however, found that taking the little bulbs off the onion
plant causes it to enlarge the main bulb. So, now that my
Egyptian onions are working quite well as food, not just as a point
of visual interest, I wondered about their quercetin content since a
main reason I cook with onion is that yellow onion's high
quercetin content is supposed to help fight skin cancer. (When I
was younger my boyfriend had a sports car and I got badly
sunburned -- now I'm fighting the consequent risks.) Check out
this research regarding Quercetin. It's interesting.

Egyptian Onions and Quercetin
6/29/09 -- I was too
late to buy yellow
onion sets this year.
(My last sets lasted
three to four years.)
So, I'm planting the
onions from atop
my Egyptian
onions. (I used to
peel them and put
them in brown rice
dishes where they
were both darling
and flavorful.)
But, peeling those

Capers are unripened
flower buds of Capparis
spinosa, a prickly,
perennial plant native to
the Mediterranean and
parts of Asia. They are
mentioned as a food in
the ancient Sumerian
cuneiform Gilgamesh.
