Just another reason onions pwn

[Draconic Onion]

stats from a health research non-profit organisation on the 10 veggies and fruits with teh most pesticides and the 10 with the least pesticides, guess what's at the top of the cleanest?

*EDIT*
sry, it's the top 12 veggies and fruits

The "Dirty Dozen" (starting with the worst)

* peaches
* apples
* sweet bell peppers
* celery
* nectarines
* strawberries
* cherries
* pears
* grapes (imported)
* spinach
* lettuce
* potatoes


The "Cleanest 12" (starting with the best)

* onions
* avocados
* sweet corn (frozen)
* pineapples
* mangoes
* asparagus
* sweet peas (frozen)
* kiwi fruit
* bananas
* cabbage
* broccoli
* papaya

bow to the onion empire
and perhaps, when we are in power,
we will take pity on you

Onions have mild anti-bacterial properties. Plus they're one of the best foods in the world. Right up there with chunky soup and burritos.

wait didnt you say the top 10? you stated twelve....
anyway the reason onions are the cleanest is because they have layers, and you usually peel off the outer papery skinthing too

heh, sry, im used to seeing things in lists of 10's, o well

and it's not about the cleanest in terms of dirt and stuff, it's about the cleanest in terms of the number of pesticides that were used on them when they were grown


-for me, burritos and chunky soup come after onions, corned beef, and dave&buster's banana foster pie(best dessert i've ever had), actually, i dont really like burritos at all, beans just aren't my thing

[poog]

... Well, I don't like bananas! I think beans are good because of their texture, smooth but slightly gritty. I don't like bananas because of their taste. Have you ever tried a soufle or a tiramisu? Some goooood stuff.
