One of the things that I try to keep in mind when prepping is to ensure that when an unexpected situation arises, it is important to remain calm and focused. You’ll want to be as stress free as possible. Here’s where I’m going with this. Prepping to me in terms of gardening and survival is to ensure that healthy, nutritious, energy pack food is available.

Yellow Sweet Spanish OnionOnions are part of the allium family of vegetables and herbs, which also includes chives, garlic, scallions and leeks. Allium vegetables have been cultivated for centuries for not only their pungent flavors but also for their medicinal properties. Onions are one source of the strong antioxidant and vitamin C that helps to combat the formation of free radicals associated with various forms cancer.

I absolutely LOVE anything in the onion family! I would live on garlic and red onions if Mrs Inor would stay in the same room as me.

Reds, yellows, whites. I like em all. When I was a young lad I hated onions but as I age I enjoy them more and more.

Same here RWalls. Growing up my granddad would eat a raw onion like an apple. Nasty. I hope I don't end up doing that when I'm a geezer. But I probably will.
