nutritional facts
Onions supply some vitamin C, folate and fibre.
Small amounts of a range of other vitamins and minerals are also supplied.
In addition to the nutrients there are also a wide range of phytochemicals,
including antioxidants and sulphur compounds. A lot of research studies
indicate these may result in a vast array of health benefits from cancer
protection, heart disease protection through to a reduction in symptoms
of osteoporosis, asthma and diabetes.
