Onion

The onion is a botanical called allium cepa. The plant grows two feet in height, with a three to four month growth period.

Onions contain 40 calories, little fat, and dietary fiber. They offer protection from cancer, decrease blood sugar and cholesterol levels and lower the risk of coronary artery disease and stroke.

Vitamin C in onions acts as an anti-inflammatory, relieving cold and flu symptoms. They are a plentiful source of vitamin B complex, alleviating nervous system disorders.
