RANGE II WEST SLB&M SECTION 32: S2NW4NW4, N2SW4NW4 State vegetable, onion Raw or cooked, chopped or sliced, love em or hate em, onions are now Utah's state vegetable thanks to the Slate Legislature and Senate Bill 136. After some wrangling and a compromise between legislators who favored the sugar beet and those who supported the onion, Utah actually has two state vegetables. The sugar beet was designated the "historic state vegetable and the Spanish sweet onion is the state vegetable. Utah State University plant scientist Dan Drost, who spends a lot of time around onions and the people who grow them, was an onion fan long before the State Legislature got into the act. And whats not to like. Onions store well, add loads of flavor, can be eaten cooked or raw and theyre good for you. "If the Legislature really needed to spend time selecting official state vegetables at least they chose one with some really good health benefits," Drost said. "Sugar beets were imported here once, but we dont grow them much anymore and sugar beets nutritive have no redeeming value. Choosing the sugar beet over the onion would just highlight the fact that people are enamored more with sugar and look where its gotten us?" Drost has long been involved in onion research on Utah Agri- cultural Station Experiment farms, the latest in a long line of scientists Utah State whose research resulted in the development of most of the Spanish-styl- e onions that are grown in the western states. Drost also works closely with the states onion growers in his role as USU Extension vegetable specialist. Onions could easily have been classified Utahs modern and historic state vegetable, Drost said, because they were planted by early settlers in the state and the onion industry has been a big part of the states agricultural landscape since the 1910s. Last year, onions grown commercially on roughly 2,500 acres of Utah soil (mainly in Davis, Weber and Box Elder counties) were worth about $7 million. Onions are among the most widely grown vegetables and il from now until farmers and home gardeners will be busy planting this years crop. While his research involves growing onions, Drost says nutrition researchers continue to discover the health benefits of eating onions. "Onions help keep blood thinned and thats good for your heart," Drost said. "People are at mid-Apr- TOWNSHIP 19 SOUTH.

But what about the burning eyes and tears that often accompany cutting onions? Its simply a reaction of enzymes in the onion when they become exposed to the air. Heating the onion increases the enzyme activity, Drost said. Thats one reason youre likely to when onions begin really tear-u- p cooking. Chilling onions before you chop or slice them helps reduce the impact on your eyes because it slows down the reaction of the enzymes. Although they often get paired g up with things like oil for and butter for sauteing, onions themselves arc a healthy and flavorful addition to the diet.
