Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is a diagnostic procedure that allows the physician to diagnose and treat problems in the upper gastrointestinal (UGI) tract. The doctor uses a long, flexible, lighted tube called an endoscope. The endoscope is guided through the patient's mouth and throat, then through the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum (first part of the small intestine). The doctor can examine the inside of these organs and detect abnormalities.
Onions are transported in wide-meshed jute fabric or plastic bags, crates, boxes, cartons, baskets or fruit crates. Small-meshed bags are unsuitable for transport due to their low permeability to air.
Characteristics: This storage onion is relatively mild but not as much as sweet onions. Round, with a thin, brownish, papery skin, Spanish onions are the most common type of onion in the United States. Pictured is a yellow Spanish onion, but they are also available as red and white. If a recipe simply calls for an onion, a Spanish onion is the one to use. For recipes using Spanish onions, click here âº.
