Allium

The onion genus Allium, placed in the Amaryllidaceae family, comprises monocotyledonous flowering plants and includes, besides the onion, garlic, chives, scallion, and the leek. Allium species are herbaceous perennials with flowers produced on scapes. They grow from solitary or clustered tunicate bulbs and many have an onion odor and taste. Plants are perennialized by bulbs that reform annually from the base of the old bulb, or are produced on the ends of rhizomes or, in a few species, at the ends of stolons. A small number of species have tuberous roots.           The bulbs' outer coats are commonly brown or grey, with a smooth texture, and are fibrous, or with cellular reticulation. The inner coats of the bulbs are membranous. Allium cernuum commonly known as Nodding Onion or Lady's Leek is a perennial plant in the genus Allium. It grows in dry woods, rock outcroppings, and prairies. Allium cernuum has an unsheathed slender conical bulb which gradually tapers directly into several keeled grass-like leaves that are 2mm to 4mm wide. Each mature bulb bears a single flowering stem, which terminates in a downward nodding umbel of rose coloured flowers. Flowers are bell-shaped, about 5 mm across, pink or white with yellow pollen and yellow anthers. The flowers mature into spherical crested fruits which later split open to reveal the dark shiny seeds. This plant does not have bulblets in the inflorescence. Allium cernuum is edible and has a strong onion flavor, and has often been used in cooking. This species is also cultivated in many places for its attractive flowers.

Onion Edible parts Leaves and bulbs Ways to prepare Eat the leaves fresh in salads, sandwiches, stir-fried or added to soups and meals, add the bulbs to salads, sandwiches, stir-fried or added to soups and meals. The flavonoids in onion tend to be more concentrated in the outer layers of the flesh. To maximize your health benefits, peel off as little of the fleshy, edible portion as possible when removing the onion's outermost paper layer. Nutritional benefit Onions are a good source of biotin, manganese, copper, vitamin B6, vitamin C, fibre, phosphorus, potassium, vitamin B1 and folate. Health benefit Onions are members of the Allium family, and both are rich in sulphur containing compounds that are responsible for their pungent odours and for many of their health-promoting effects. Onions are an outstanding source of polyphenols, including the flavonoid polyphenols. Within this flavonoid category, onions are a stand out source of quercetin and allyl sulphides. When we get quercetin by eating an onion-rather than consuming the quercetin in purified, supplement form-we may end up getting better protection from oxidative stress. Onions being rich in antioxidants, are thought to help prevent cancer, diabetes, and even the common cold. Other uses Rubbing an onion on your skin is a simple way to repel bugs, or how about remove splinters, try taping a piece of raw onion to it, holding it tight against the area for about an hour before removing the onion and the splinter.

  Asparagus officinalis is a spring vegetable, a flowering perennial plant species in the genus Asparagus. It was once classified in the lily family, like its Allium cousins, onions and garlic, but the Liliaceae have been split and the onion-like plants are now in the family Amaryllidaceae and asparagus in the Asparagaceae. Asparagus multiflorus will climb given the opportunity or, standing alone becomes a large tangled shrub. It may reach 2 m in height and width. The many pale green zigzagging stems are hard and slightly hairy. Stems have fine longitudinal lines or ridges along the surface. The nodes are just thick knobs with no spines. Small branchlets emerge from these knobs on which the tiny cylindrical cladodes or leaf-like stems grow. The flowers are positioned in the cladode fascicles. They are small and white, blooming in midsummer. The plant grows on the coast and inland in parts of the Eastern Cape and eastern parts of the Western Cape, including the Little Karoo. The boiled young stems of Asparagus multiflorus are sometimes eaten as a vegetable. Cutting the old stems back at the end of winter stimulates new growth suitable for harvesting. The taste is different from the conventional cooked asparagus.
