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.
Preparing Onions for Storage. 1  1. Dry the onion skins. After the onions are harvested, spread them out in a ventilated area so that the skins can harden. 2  2. Trim the onions. Once the stems are completely dry, use sharp scissors or a knife to trim the roots from the onions.
