Regal headpiece worn by Süleyman the Magnificent Portrait of Sultan Süleyman wearing the Venetian Helmet Onions are toxic to dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and many other animals. [53] [54] Cultivation Large-scale onion cultivation The helmet-crown consisted of four crowns set inside an Austrian-style helmet, and was topped by "a plumed aigrette with a crescent-shaped mount". [3] The crown was made of gold, and studded with "enormous twelve-carat pearls, a head band with pointed diamonds, forty-seven rubies, twenty-seven emeralds, forty-nine pearls, and a large turquoise". [4] The total value of the piece was estimated at 115,000 Venetian ducats. [5] Onion bulbs are produced by sowing seeds in a dense pattern in early summer, then harvested in the autumn when the bulbs are still small, followed by drying and storage. These bulbs planted the following spring grow into mature bulbs later in the growing season. [60] Certain cultivars used for growing and storing bulbs may not have such good storage characteristics as those grown directly from seed. [14]

The triploid onion is a hybrid species with three sets of chromosomes, two sets from A. cepa and the third set from an unknown parent. [3] :19 Various clones of the triploid onion are grown locally in different regions, such as 'Ljutika' in Croatia, and 'Pran', 'Poonch', and 'Srinagar' in the India-Kashmir region. 'Pran' is grown extensively in the northern Indian provinces of Jammu and Kashmir. There are very small genetic differences between 'Pran' and the Croatian clone 'Ljutika', implying a monophyletic origin for this species.

[29] Oils Cooking onions and sweet onions are better stored at room temperature, optimally in a single layer, in large mesh bags in a dry, cool, dark, well-ventilated location. In this environment, cooking onions have a shelf life of three to four weeks and sweet onions one to two weeks. Cooking onions will absorb odours from apples and pears. Also, they draw moisture from vegetables with which they are stored which may cause them to decay.

Modern varieties typically grow to a height of 15 to 45cm (6 to 18in). The leaves are yellowish- to bluish green and grow alternately in a flattened, fan-shaped swathe. They are fleshy, hollow, and cylindrical, with one flattened side. They are at their broadest about a quarter of the way up, beyond which they taper to blunt tips. The base of each leaf is a flattened, usually white sheath that grows out of the basal plate of a bulb. From the underside of the plate, a bundle of fibrous roots extends for a short way into the soil. As the onion matures, food reserves accumulate in the leaf bases, and the bulb of the onion swells.

The CIA Onions have particularly large cells that are readily observed under low magnification. Forming a single layer of cells, the bulb epidermis is easy to separate for educational, experimental, and breeding purposes. [31] [32] Onions are therefore commonly used in science education to teach the use of a microscope for observing cell structure. [33] Dye Onions may be grown from seeds or from partially grown bulbs called "sets" or starter bulbs. Because onion seeds are short-lived, fresh seeds germinate more effectively when sown in shallow rows, or "drills," with each drill 12" to 18" apart. [57] [59] In suitable climates, certain cultivars can be sown in late summer and autumn to overwinter in the ground and produce early crops the following year. [14] Sweet onions have a greater water and sugar content than cooking onions. This makes them sweeter and milder tasting, but reduces their shelf life. Sweet onions can be stored refrigerated; they have a shelf life of around 1 month. Irrespective of type, any cut pieces of onion are best tightly wrapped, stored away from other produce, and used within two to three days. [40] Varieties Common Onion Group (var. cepa)

Some authors have used the name A. cepa var. viviparum (Metzg.) Alef. for the triploid onion, but this name has also been applied to the Egyptian onion. The only name unambiguously connected with the triploid onion is A. × cornutum. Brewster, James L. (1994). Onions and other vegetable Alliums (1sted.). Wallingford, UK: CAB International. p.5.

In the Age of Discovery, onions were taken to North America by the first European settlers, [16] who found close relatives of the plant such as Allium tricoccum readily available and widely used in Native American gastronomy. [16] According to diaries kept by certain first English colonists, the bulb onion was one of the first crops planted by the Pilgrims.
