Onion

Onion is a cultivable food item found in the Mountain biome as a seed. Onion seeds are typically found in chests inside ruined huts, and unlike crops such as carrots or turnips, onions do not appear naturally as grown plants in the world before the player plants them.

Onions are planted on cultivated ground with the Cultivator, and a planted onion takes between 4000 and 5000 seconds to fully mature, roughly 66 minutes 40 seconds to 83 minutes 20 seconds, or about 2.22 to 2.78 in-game days. Growing an onion produces onion seeds, making it possible to expand a crop line by replanting the harvested root. One onion yields 3 onion seeds when grown in this way.

Onions are useful immediately as food, but their main value comes from cooking and animal care. They can also be fed to hungry boars to start or continue taming and to support breeding.
