Dear Curiosity Journal,

Hello, humble onion. Did you know that onions have a connection to the Olympics? Check out this fun fact I found. “During the ancient Olympic games in Greece, the onion was used extensively to prepare athletes for the grueling athletic competition. Athletes would consume pounds of onions leading up the games. They also drank onion juice and rubbed onions on their bodies in an effort to warm up their muscles. Believe it or not, ancient Greek physician, Pedanius Dioscórides, was onto something. Onions today are known for their powers to increase circulation to the body.” That seems excessive, and I can only imagine the smell, but if you need a little circulatory boost, find yourself some farm fresh onions like these and channel your inner Olympian.
