Onions, like garlic, are members of the Allium family, and both are rich in sulfur-containing compounds.

Spanish researchers have examined the properties of two types of white onions and a yellow variety and they have found that the flavonoids contained in them are capable to prevent growth of bacteria such as Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Micrococcus luteus and Listeria monocytogenes, organisms usually associated with the deterioration of the food.

The data emphasize in particular that the yellow onion is the best source of flavonoids. These phenolic compounds produced by plants, have anti-inflammatory, cardioprotective and anti-cancer properties. Antioxidants are compounds that help delay or slow the oxidative damage to cells and tissue of the body.

The onion is really an eclectic plant; this bulb has a large nutritional value, due to the presence of mineral salts such as sodium, iron, potassium, sulfur, iodine, silicon, and vitamins, especially vitamin C (as well as A, E and B complex).

In folk medicine this plant is used for its mild diuretic property and to purify the kidneys.
These medicinal foods help to remove heavy metals and parasites from your body.

The onion also contains substances that reduce platelet aggregation, which is the main responsible for the formation of clots in blood vessels, which may have some action in preventing atherosclerosis.

When onions are simmered to make soup, their antioxidants compounds does not get degraded. They simply gets transferred into the water part of the soup.
