Did you ever think about the waste that's generated in the commercial preparation of onions and garlic? Frankly, despite the fact that I enjoy both, I didn't either. But now it appears that there's something useful that can be done with it:
Onion soaks up heavy metal
"Biotechnologists Rahul Negi, Gouri Satpathy, Yogesh Tyagi and Rajinder Gupta of the GGS Indraprastha University in Delhi, India, explain how waste from the processing and canning of onion (Allium cepa L.) and garlic (Allium sativum L.) could be used as an alternative remediation material for removing toxic elements from contaminated materials including industrial effluent."
So that's a double good thing, good taste and cleaner water.
