The onion, hailing from the Amaryllidaceae family, has its roots in Southwestern Asia. This vegetable is known for its complex mix of bioactive components. Notably found in its root are compounds like allicin, quercetin, fisetin, diallyl disulfide, diallyl trisulphide, flavonoids, fructooligosaccharides, thiosulfinates, and dietary fiber. The presence of fructooligosaccharides indicates that onions might have prebiotic properties.
