South African grows gigantic onionPosted Nov 13th 2006 1:30PM by Joe DiStefanoFiled under: Vegetables, Food Oddities, South Africa, Super Size MeWhen I was a kid I was told to eat my vegetables so I'd grow up to be nice and strong. Apparently feeding vegetables to veggies makes them, too, quite robust. Or so a South African chap found when he used organic fertilizer that he makes from vegetable peelings to help grow a ginormous onion.At just under 3 pounds the onion weighs 10 times more than the, er, garden variety. Henry Carr of Port Elizabeth has been growing vegetables for almost 40 years. When asked what he planned to do with his humongous onion, Carr said he'll soon be making some of his city's largest onion rings. Perhaps he'll want to don a pair of onion goggles when he prepares his oversized bar snack.
