ONIONS

un'-yunz (betsalim; krommuon):

One of the delicacies of Egypt for which the children of Israel pined in the wilderness (Numbers 11:5). The onion, alllium cepa (Natural Order Liliaceae), is known in Arabic as bucal and is cultivated all over Syria and Egypt; it appears to be as much a favorite in the Orient today as ever.
