The onion Allium Cepa L. also known as the bulb onion or common onion, is a vegetable that is the most widely cultivated species of the genus Allium. The dry onion skin produces natural hue which are used for dyeing textiles. Pretreatment of the fabric by metal mordant can give good fastness properties for cotton, wool and silk dyed fabrics. These are used as natural vegetable dye. The skin is inedible and it contains dyestuff called pelargonidin.
For effective and good dyeing, we use extracts of allium cepa skin. These skins are found in different colours depending on the variety of onions like red onion, yellow onion etc. These skins are easily available at our home as a waste from the kitchen. The skins are first separated according to their colour and then grinded into powder form. This powder form dye is mixed with different mordents because it gives good fastness and dark shades of colour on cotton, silk and wool fabrics. The dye has very good potential of uptake, adherence to the fabric and has good wash and light fastness.

We are Using Organic farming Technic , also known as ecological farming or biological farming, is an agricultural system that uses fertilizers of organic origin such as compost manure, green manure and places emphasis on techniques such as crop rotation and companion planting.
The onion plant has been grown and selectively bred in cultivation for at least 7,000 years. It is a biennial plant, but is usually grown as an annual. Modern varieties typically grow to a height of 15 to 45 cm (6 to 18 in). The leaves are yellowish- to bluish green and grow alternately in a flattened, fan-shaped swathe. They are fleshy, hollow, and cylindrical, with one flattened side. They are at their broadest about a quarter of the way up, beyond which they taper towards a blunt tip. The base of each leaf is a flattened, usually white sheath that grows out of a basal disc. From the underside of the disc, a bundle of fibrous roots extends for a short way into the soil. As the onion matures, food reserves begin to accumulate in the leaf bases and the bulb of the onion swells.
In the autumn, the leaves die back and the outer scales of the bulb become dry and brittle, so the crop is then normally harvested. If left in the soil over winter, the growing point in the middle of the bulb begins to develop in the spring. New leaves appear and a long, stout, hollow stem expands, topped by a bract protecting a developing inflorescence. The inflorescence takes the form of a globular umbel of white flowers with parts in sixes. The seeds are glossy black and triangular in cross section. The average ph of an onion is around 5.5.
