ONION
Cited only once in the Bible, when the children of Israel, fed up with manna, complained that they had had to give up the delicacies of Egypt (Num. 11:5), where they had known it and eaten it.
In Egyptian monuments, the onion is frequently represented at different times in Egyptian life: harvest, sale in the market, on offering tables and in tombs.
The pagan historians Strabo and Pliny praise the Ashkelon onions.
