Onions are vegetables that grow as underground bulbs at the base of plants known scientifically as Allium cepa.
Also known as bulb onions or common onions, they are grown worldwide, and are closely related to chives, garlic, scallions, shallots and leeks.
Onions may have several health benefits, mostly due to their high content of antioxidants and sulfur-containing compounds.
