Harvest of Onion

Farmers harvest down the red (Allium cepa var ascalonicum) in Aceh Besar onion plantations. Onion is one of the mainstay agricultural products in Aceh. Communities in Aceh use onions as spices in cooking.

In addition to cooking spices, red onion is usually served by thinly sliced and fried. The smell of fried onion is believed to be able to increase appetite and also as a fragrance of cooking.

In Aceh society, onion is also used as a traditional medicine that can treat stomach pain to lower cholesterol levels. This plant contains antiseptic and alliin compounds.

This onion plantation is located in Peukan Bada, Aceh Besar. Within a month farmers in this area are able to harvest tens of tons of red onion sold for the needs of Aceh to be exported out of the region.

In this photo collection I am attaching one color photo to distinguish the red color on the onion
