Onions and Garlic

an onion isn't a root, it is for storage however.

I'm certain that you meant clove of garlic and not "glove" of garlic. that being said a clove of garlic is an individual segment of the entire head of garlic, a medium size head of garlic usually contain around 14 to 18 cloves of garlic. garlic can be and most often is sold by the head or the cloves are sold in a container where they are preserved in some type of solution whether it be water or olive oil. it can also be sold in this same solution either diced or minced. these are often the best choice if you want lots of garlic quickly; as the gloves are already peeled for you. A small jar of garlic whether it be whole, minced or diced can be anywhere from 3-5 dollars.

If you eat old onions you can sometimes become very sick to your stomach and even get food poisoning. It is believed that the spoiled onions in many picnic foods often cause food poisoning.

Yes

because babs as had her dirty fingers in nicking them (keep off babs) were watching you?

Onions are a vegetable, so really a serving of onions is a serving of vegetables. Granted, eating a serving of onions would be a little difficult, but adding onions to other vegetables works great and simply adds veges to your daily goal.

It depends on how long the garlic clove has been growing... They aren't all the exact same...

A cut onion releases an irritant into the air which irritates our eyes, the body's response in turn is to try to get rid of the irritant through the production of tears. You can try one of two things to have your eyes water less when cutting onions...one is to cut your onion under a stream of water from your tap, the other is to not cut the end of the onion that has the roots on it...this will result in less irritant being released. kutay

Capers do not belong to the onion family. Capers are actually flower buds that are harvested from the caper bush (Capparis spinosa). Onions, on the other hand, belong to the Allium genus, which includes plants like onions, garlic, leeks, and chives. While both capers and onions are commonly used in cooking for their distinct flavors, they are not botanically related.

No there is no evidence suggesting that. They have very less calories, so gaining weight is unlikely.

Yes :). There's not really a best, instead there is a best for certain circumstances. In general the sweet onion is the easiest to use for normal home cooks. It has a good flavor and fits most dishes. But all onions have their dishes that they are the best answer for.

the side away from the stalk.

I was taught to cut the stalk end first, because if you cut the other end you would "draw" the bitterness into the cucumber.

No, they have a very different taste and flavor. They can be used together, but in straight substitution, one cannot be substituted for each other. And Ginger should never be substituted for garlic, especially in Italian cooking!

Onions come all sizes. A single large onion diced could be 1 pound.

A group of onions is called a shallot.

Basically everything. Cut off the parts of the green stem that might be damaged. And cut off the bottom part of the root. You might want to peel off the thin outer layer of the whole scallion, in much the same way that you might peel off the skin of an onion.

It is due to breathing through your nose and the associated odor of the onion. By breathing through your mouth (or gnaw on a toothpick?) you should be able to control the weepy eyes and nose. According to the food channel, it's because when you cut the onion, you pierce the cells which releases a chemical which irritates the pink tissue of the eyes & nose. Which are proximate to the source when looking down to slice & dice. Wanna real treat? Cut up some horseradish, it's guaranteed to run you out of the kitchen right fast!

The bulb of an onion is that round or roundish vegetable that is composed of many concentric layers, that causes a burning sensation in your eyes when you chop it up, and that is usually what people cook when they use onion in their recipes - although the green leaves of the onion, also called scallions, can be eaten too.

They smell like crap! Just like your mom! Why are you askin these questions?! isn't it obvious! If your mom smells like crap then so do you! Back off sucker! Get a life! Stop researching stuff! You are a loser just like the rest of these weird freaks that do school work on wikianswers!

There are several bulbs that resemble onions. Many flower bulbs do. However, I think you're talking about onion sets, which are nothing more than very young onion plants which help you get a jump on your growing season for those who garden.

It weighs the same as your small wang .

Normal is hard to define. I see onions from 2 to 4 inches in diameter in the shops.

i guess that no one found it out and every one just does it because it helps keep the juices of the onion going towards your eyes because when yo ucut an onion it lets this juice out and its attracted to water and since your eyes have water they make you cry i hope this helps. bye
