(Onions, White Sweet) We purchased these three inch diameter white sweet
onions at a local farm store, where they were sold freshly harvested with the
green tops and roots still attached. Later in the season they continued to sell
them, but without the tops and roots, just as they would look in the
supermarket. These white sweet onions are mild tasting and great eaten raw in
salads and sandwiches. Select white sweet onions that are firm to the touch,
particularly at the stem end, which is usually where the first signs of spoilage
begin. Also make sure there are no signs of mold, which is usually black. See
the nutritional chart below.

The
above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31):
'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every
tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the
earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that
has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all
that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
