Onions, which have the scientific classification of Allium cepa, also contain a number of antioxidant compounds that are very effective in neutralizing the free radicals present in the human body. Onions have been used for millennia by human beings for medicinal purposes. Onions have been one of the staple plants in the diet of humans for more than 7,000 years, and during much of that time, onions were actually cultivated. There are still wild species in certain areas of Asia, but for the most part, onions are a globally grown and cultivated plant. Throughout history, onions were even worshiped by certain cultures, like the Egyptians, who buried them with their pharaoh. This fascination with onions could have stemmed from its versatility and availability, or from the medicinal and beneficial properties they have already discovered from this powerful little bulb plant. The health benefits of onions include their role in substantially relieving a number of diseases including the common cold, asthma, bacterial infections, respiratory problems, angina, and cough. Onions are also known to repel bloodthirsty insects. In other words, you may say that onions are a true gift from nature, even if they do make you cry. HS Code: 07031010/ 7031020
