Onion

Added by mich. Last Edited by Jurbin

Name: Onion

Other Names: Allium Cepa, Garden Onion, Bulb Onion, Shallot

Description: Onion scientifically known as Allium cepa is also known as the 'garden onion' or 'bulb' onion and 'shallot'. Onions, like garlic, are members of the Allium family, and both are rich in powerful sulfur-containing compounds that are responsible for their pungent odors and for many of their health-promoting effects. Onions contain allyl propyl disulphide, while garlic is rich in allicin, diallyl disulphide, diallyl trisulfide and others. In addition, onions are very rich in chromium, a trace mineral that helps cells respond to insulin, plus vitamin C, and numerous flavonoids, most notably, quercitin.


Evidence suggests that onions may be effective against the common cold, heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, and other diseases. They contain anti-inflammatory, anticholesterol, anticancer, and antioxidant components such as quercetin.
