Children in Yamaguchi City, Japan, harvest onions. The onions will be used in school lunches and for cooking.
The children harvest the onions when the stems have grown to the point where they are too big to be pulled out of the ground. They then cut the stem and roots into small pieces to eat the onion. The onion is then dried and used in the school's lunches for the next few weeks. For more information on harvesting onions in Japan, go to www.yamaguchi-onion.com.
