Ancient Egyptians even considered organic onions as holy, believing that their circular shape and the concentric circles inside when cut were symbolic of eternity. The onions was so revered that they were placed in the tombs of pharoahs as they were thought to bring well-being and prosperity to the soul’s life after death. Onion varieties were even used as barter instead of currency in the Middle Ages. Did you know, the Greeks thoight eating onions could actually make one stronger?
