Want to reduce the overwhelming smell of paint from a newly painted room? Slice up some raw onions, place them in a bowl of water, and leave them in the room overnight.

In addition to adding an extra kick to your home-cooked meals, onions are a versatile vegetable that can also polish your metals, repel mosquitos, prevent frost from forming on your car windshield and cure your earache.
