Onions may have originated somewhere in Central or East Asia, or possibly in the area that is known today as Iran and West Pakistan. Wherever they originated, onions have probably been eaten by human kind as forage since prehistoric times.

Onions could be one of the earliest crops cultivated because they could be stored longer than other foods of the time, survived transport, grew easily, and thrived in many different soils and climates.

Onions have been used in many cultures as a medicinal. Early beliefs were that vision, digestion, stamina, and more could be remedied or helped by either consumption of onions, or as poultices for wounds and fevers, or rubs for the body.
