Onion

Small description

The yellow onion or brown onion (Allium cepa L.) is a variety of dry onion with a strong flavour. They have a greenish-white, light yellow, or white inside; its layers of papery skin have a yellow-brown or pale golden colour.

Red and yellow onions are richer in antioxidants than other types. In fact, yellow onions may contain almost 11 times more antioxidants than white onions. Cooking can significantly reduce levels of some antioxidants.
