Onion is a biennial plant, widely used in cooking because of its characteristic spicy taste. During cooking, the onion softens considerably, and the aroma it imparts to the dish is very pleasant. Onions are highly valued in medicine. In fact, no plant is used as much in folk medicine as onions.
It is a source of a large amount of various mineral salts, vitamins, essential oils with bactericidal properties. Onions contain vitamin C / in the leaves - 35 mg /, vitamin B1 - up to 60 mg, B2, B6, E, PP1, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, iron and citric acid.
And now try to imagine how many useful substances there are in a 9-kilogram onion. The largest onion head grown in the world weighs almost as much and due to its incredible size is listed in the Guinness Book of Records.
The farmer who grew the giant onion is infinitely proud of his 8460-gram achievement. He is from the town of Moira in Leicestershire. Tony Glover, 49, was able to grow the remarkable onion with the help of a nitrate-rich fertilizer and by strictly monitoring the most favorable humidity.
As the giant onion grew, the lamps in Glover's greenhouse were always on. It took the farmer a whole year to grow the 9-kilogram miracle, but he didn't even notice how all the months went by, because he loves his job. Glover has been involved in vegetable production since he was a teenager and puts all his love and care into his business.
The previous record for the largest onion in the world was set by vegetables with a relatively smaller mass. Some time ago, the onion of 67-year-old Peter Glazebrook set a world record for the largest onion after reaching a remarkable 8.15 kilograms.
The retiree seems to love growing large vegetables, as he also holds records for the largest potatoes, beets and parsnips. And although Peter Glazebrook's work was rewarded with 2,500 euros, the old man did not want to reveal exactly what he was watering his vegetables with. After Glazebrook, the third largest onion, grown in 2005, weighs 7.48 kilograms.
